Elly Finlayson operates a vegetable, microgreen and garlic farm at Railway Creek Farm south of the hamlet of Cooper, and only six minutes north of Madoc. Part of the farm is nestled between the old Bay of Quinte Railway line and the creek named Railway Creek. Elly has grown veggies and garlic since 1993.
In 2020, the veggie market gardens beds were brought back into production after several years of regenerating the soil, and the biological life within. All veggies are grown naturally using non-toxic methods, such as admending soil with compost, incorporating cover cropping, manure teas all the while minimizing tillage. Elly likes to grow all kinds of vegetables such as lettuce, arugula, napa cabbage, kale, beans as well as roots crops such as sweet carrots, beets and daikon radishes etc. Summer and Winter Squash, tomatoes and peppers and much more will be available.
Over the winter, Microgreens are produced bi-weekly in an indoor vertical growing system. Sunflowers, peas, brassicas and radishes microgreens are available to buy on the online store every other week. Deliveries are made to Madoc every other Friday afternoon, or pick up at the farm.
