Guelph's Rich Agricultural History

While I do not have personal stories connected to this location I did come across this statistic which I feel is worth repeating.

"On these lands the prison farm once produced 25 tons of onions, 17 tons of cabbage, 10,000 bags of potatoes, 200,000 pounds of apples, 50 tons of rhubarb, squash and cucumber and the prison farm was home to 225 dairy cattle producing six hundred and thirty three thousand, seven hundred and sixty nine quarts of milk per year." An innovative idea, using agriculture as a method to aid in criminal reform by giving prisoners a sense of purpose. I hope GID pays tribute to this innovation.
