| Meet the Farmer
Craig Heighway, CPO (Chief Pitchfork Operator) |

| As a boy, my summer weekends were spent behind the wheel of an old Massey Ferguson tractor, hauling the machinery that turns hay into bales. Luckily, I was not big enough to heft the bales onto the wagon --that was left to my older brother, Drew.
There is a big gap in time between the farm of my childhood and Kitsilano Farms, time that I rarely experienced farm life. But I often longed for an opportunity to get back to the land. Now I have the opportunity to put my hands in the soil, plant the seeds, weed the gardens, tend to the crop; that is, be a farmer again. And the best thing of all, I get to meet the people and see the smiles on their faces when I present them with the beautiful vegetables that I grew. That's why I started Kitsilano Farms. Below is a link to a news story about Kitsilano Farms from CTV News. Broadcast date: July 20, 2009.
