Billy Dugger is not a typical farmer and Billy’s Botanicals is not a typical farm. Located in Richmond Hill is a small farm without a tractor, no row crops, no cows, not a barn in sight. No tilling, no adding of fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides, but this greenhouse-enclosed ecosystem generates a steady supply of greens, herbs and vegetables.
