Grower Profile – Cookstown Greens
This week we caught up with Cookstown Greens. They have been using wollastonite on their beets for two years and are looking to apply it across the whole farm next season. Simon explained the beets struggled with leaf spot that wouldn’t go away until they applied 1200 lbs/acre of wollastonite mixed with compost.
Cookstown Greens is a leader in organic production in Ontario. They are well known for the flavour and quality of their vegetables available across the GTA: https://www.cookstowngreens.com
