Abstract

Working within the bounds of bioregional theory, this paper investigates agriculture in Haliburton, a place where farmers are finding ways to be innovative and work with the natural features of the land. These farmers and their farms are presented as truly linked by the landscape they share and live off.
A history of agriculture in Haliburton County, gained from both secondary and primary research, is outlined. Findings are discussed with regard to types of farming found, physical limitations imposed by the land itself, variations on conventional farming, and suggestions for possible future directions. A number of graphs complete the project.
