Meet Myrhanda
Our Founder and Head Gardener
Northern Till & Forage grew from one simple belief:
Everyone should know how to grow food, preserve the harvest, and reconnect with the land around them. From seed starting and soil health to herbal traditions, food preservation, and respectful foraging, everything here is taught through real experience from our small homestead in Ontario’s Near North.
My hope is that every article leaves you feeling a little more confident than when you arrived.
