Meet Your Instructor: Grace Harding
Grace’s journey into farming began with a spark of passion while leading educational activities on a bustling vegetable farm. She honed her skills as a dedicated farm laborer for five years before diving into the Food and Farming program at Durham College. After graduating, Grace returned to the farm as a manager, where she thrived for another five years.
Now, as the Regenerative Farm Manager at ClearWater Farm, Grace is on a mission to transform the land into a thriving, sustainable ecosystem. Her vision is to create a model of regenerative agriculture that not only produces healthy food but also restores the environment and builds community resilience.
When she’s not busy nurturing the land, Grace loves to lead immersive tours of the property, sharing her wealth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm with the community and visitors of ClearWater Farm. Join her on this exciting journey and discover the magic of regenerative farming.
