Cultivating the Future: Lukas Doman on Deep Roots Farm and Growing Food in Newfoundland

NL Young Farmers is about to host their Leadership Summit this weekend and this episode of The Spark, we dive into the world of sustainable agriculture with Lukas Doman, owner of Deep Roots Farm and Market in Newfoundland. Lukas has transformed a modest plot of land into a thriving farm that emphasizes ecological balance, soil health, and community-supported agriculture. We explore his journey from starting with just a few seeds to running a full-scale farm operation that now includes a local market where customers can purchase fresh produce grown close to home. 

Lukas shares valuable insights into the realities of farming in Newfoundland, the challenges posed by its unique climate, and how his farm adapts to those challenges. He also highlights the importance of collaboration and working together with other local farmers and community members to build a resilient, sustainable food system. 

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about the future of farming and how local food movements can create sustainable, fresh food systems in Newfoundland and Labrador.
