Future Plans 

Each season, as we gain knowledge about the amazing uses of hemp, we will continue to turn our farm, Jumping Lake Acres, into a working model of self-sufficiency.  When you buy from The Good Seed Grain Merchants, you are helping us create a new model of agriculture in Canada that is healthier, smaller-scale and human-oriented.  We will continue being stewards of the land and growing more healthy crops for our customers and friends.  

Our upcoming projects for 2008 include: 

  • Planting 20 acres of certified organic hemp
  • Building a certified organic processing facility, powered by photovoltaic solar panels and a wind generator, and heated with geothermal energy.
  • Building 2 certified organic grain storage bins.
  • Planting 90 acres of green manure crops and 10 acres of native grass.
  • Planting 5500 native trees to enhance biodiversity and encourage wildlife.
  • Digging water collection pools near creeks for wildlife enhancement and drought preparation
  • Constructing guest cabins using hemp concrete and local timber.
 
 

As the years progress, our farm will become fully self-sufficient and will become a place where others can come and learn about eco-agriculture in the Canadian Prairies and see a working model of sustainability.  Other projects which we are looking forward to in the coming years include: 

  • Hemp fiber processing factory.
  • Education / Interpretation building for workshops and seminars.
  • Rotational grazing of native bison.
  • Ethanol & Biodiesel production.
  • New crop experimentation such as garlic, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth, beans, chickpeas, lentils, echinacea, wild ginger, wild rice, carrots and potatoes.
  • Establish functioning wildlife preserves for songbirds, flying squirrels, jack rabbits, and other threatened prairie species.

Eco-Agricultural Tourism - Visit Our Farm!
"We have allready had some visitors at our farm, and want to encourage more people to come and stay with us.  We will have guest cabins and a campground operational by the summer of 2009.  If you are ever coming through Saskatchewan please send us an email at organichempseed@gmail.com to arrange a visit.
