JM Fortier + La Ferme des Quatre-Temps | Hemmingford, QC | Know Your Farmer

JM Fortier of La Ferme de Quatre-Temps and the Market Gardener Masterclass adds his thoughtful opinion to the Real Organic Project Know Your Farmer video series: https://www.realorganicproject.org/kn... Selling all of his crops directly to eaters and restaurants, Jean-Martin Fortier is a living example of Know Your Farmer. JM (as he is known to his friends) is already seen by his customers as a skilled organic farmer growing the highest quality food. For JM’s customers, Know Your Farmer is a reality. He is one of the most accessible vegetable farmers in the world. His activities go way beyond just growing food. He is also an author, a teacher and a social activist. His best-selling book, The Market Gardener: A Successful Grower's Handbook for Small-Scale Organic Farming, has sold over 100,000 copies. It has been translated into 8 languages. His sophisticated online training program, The Market Gardener's Masterclass, has been subscribed to by thousands of farmers around the world. And for eaters, the highly popular reality show “The Farmers” follows the day to day adventures of the crew at JM’s new farm, La Ferme Des Quatre-Temps. His highly selective on-farm training program for the next generation of organic farmers is successful. After two years of training and hard work, crew members are ready to start their own farms, spreading these ideas and techniques like mycorrhizal fungi.
