Neighbouring Norfolk

Ginseng Tobacco





Ginseng is replacing tobacco in our neighbouring Norfolk. A striking difference between Norfolk and Haldimand is attributable, I suppose, to the difference in soil. Haldimand clay does not grow exotic crops. Noticable in the beautiful agricultural acreage of Norfolk, in addition to ginseng, is the vast variety of successful fruit and vegetable crops. There remains the decades-successful tobacco ~ apparently on the come-back! ~ and now the alternatives. Field after field of the most prosperous, colourful July crops one can imagine.
