Hello from Nova Scotia! Looking for a farm to learn from
-
Hi folks! It's been wonderful to read all of your posts on this great community! I've been extremely interested in GreenWave ever since I heard Bren speaking on the How to Save a Planet podcast.
Before making the plunge and trying to start a business, I would really like to visit or work on an established permaculture ocean farm. If anyone here runs, or knows of such a farm in Nova Scotia, please let me know! I'm on the South Shore but I would certainly be willing to travel. I have experience boating and farming on the land, but I'm a newbie for doing farm work on the ocean.
Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone in their journey to sustainable ocean farming!
@paul_wilhelm -Hi
I am pursuing a kelp farm in NS. If you would like to connect, email me seahagseaweeds@gmail.com

Hello Melinda,
Nice surprise to run into your and Paul’s posts here on the hub. I am also interested, and growing more so by the day, of the possibilities that regenerative ocean farming has to offer us locally in NS and the world in general.
I live in Dartmouth and though have many years of experience working in the marine environment locally and abroad I currently have very little knowledge of the ocean farming environment here.
Is it Ok to connect with you to gain some insight from your experience in Canso and begin to develop connections with the community that may already exist here?
thank you,
bjarni

@paul_wilhelm Hey Paul! I'm keen to learn more and potentially start an operation on the Eastern Shore. I live in Seaforth. If you found any useful tips, info, contacts - please do let me know! Maybe we can also meet and chat seaweed in NS!

Hey Paul!
Did you ever find a farm in Nova Scotia to learn from? That's exactly what I'm after and I figured you might have learned some things since you posted this.
Would you be up for a chat?
@alana_wortsman85 Not sure if this note is too late, but Ecology Action Centre has a seaweed training and demonstration farm at Mahone Bay https://ecologyaction.ca/our-work/marine/seaweed-farming-training-centre
