ABOUT US

Sally takes your orders, lets you know if we are short of anything, suggests new items to try, and makes sure everything is in perfect shape before it leaves our farm for your kitchen.  She arrives very early Tuesday and Friday mornings to make sure your orders leave on-time and error-free.  Sally frequently has leading roles in Cookstown's excellent community theatre.

Deb carefully manages the salad greens, seedlings, edible flower and garnishing leaf harvesting and packing.  She makes sure we have enough perfect leaves and flowers to meet your needs.  Deb uses her extensive dining experience to offer suggestions for ways Cookstown Greens can help with your most appealing presentations.  Deb also reads extensively and loves skiing and scuba diving.

Dave is our Field Manager and is kept very busy getting next year's fields ready for cropping by managing the cover-crops.  And of course he keeps this year's fields prepared for seeding, transplanting and harvesting.  He also works with our Mexican helpers who assist him.  Dave likes woodworking in his spare time.

Abrahim, Alejandro, Aurelio, Eusabio, and Andres eagerly work very long hours cultivating and harvesting our crops.  We really appreciate all the caring help they provide.  Gracias!  Their favourite activity is calling home every evening for the six - seven months they are in Canada.

Tom delivers our produce in the Toronto area.  He makes every effort to arrive at the expected time each week.  Tom is retired, but helps us out two days a week; and doing odd jobs for his neighbours most other days.

David is the Founding President of Cookstown Greens.  He could never do all that is involved with serving loyal customers without great skill and dedication from all our workers.  He concentrates on  1) researching improved growing methods,  2) the actual seeding of crops, and  3) promoting the benefits of quality local produce.  David does not have much time left over but enjoys dinners at home with his family and watching movies on TV.
