Join Young Agrarians and friends for a Columbia Ba

Join Young Agrarians and friends for a Columbia Basin, B.C. event series this season on- and off-farm to learn together and support each other! We’ll be gathering online and in-person on the last Monday evening of every month from June through December. Some sessions we’ll have an expert guest join and other sessions, we’ll share with each other.

What is a Farm Club? Farm Club is when farmers come together to connect and nerd out with other farmers. It can be on any topic the group wants to discuss and can take many different shapes and sizes.

The first one is online this Monday, June 28, 2021! We will have a Virtual Q&A and Solstice Social with the YA BC Business Mentorship Program Coordinator and professional Business Coach Melanie Buffel: How to set your prices when you’re still figuring out your cost of production? What’s the best footwear for farming in the Kootenays? Bring all your random questions and let’s chat.

Register at our link in bio.

🥕 When ya dig up some funny carrots, better round up the farm crew for a photo shoot!

Love this series from @sundogveggies.
They grew almost 18,000 kg of carrots last year in Whitehorse, Yukon!

The Summer Solstice is upon us like a June flower,

The Summer Solstice is upon us like a June flower, opening its petals to meet these long days of light. We hope you are enjoying the abundance of leafy greens, fresh flowers, and all the rest that this time of year provides.

The Solstice marks National Indigenous Peoples Day. As an educational network for new and young ecological farmers, we acknowledge the deep complexity around colonization, land and food systems. Our hearts are with the Indigenous Peoples from many different First Nations whose relation's remains have been found in Kamloops, B.C., Brandon, Manitoba, and Regina and Lestock, Saskatchewan.

Like many organizations seeking equity and justice in 2021 - we call on all levels of government to take tangible actions that enact the calls-to-action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and recognize Indigenous rights and title to Crown lands.

As a network with many farmer settlers in it, we commit to using our voices to uplift Indigenous leaders in the community, and to support systems of power and change that feed and nourish people and the land.

If you are keen on stepping into a decolonization process and learning more, we highly recommend the Earth, Air, Water, Fire workshop series facilitated by @kinshift.ca. Their next series will start in the fall.

With Love,
- The whole YA team

Ashley of @bountifulbayfarm spoke with us about the growth of their flower farm in Sooke, BC and some learnings from the YA Business Bootcamp. The Bootcamp helped Ashley and her partner Aidan realize the potential of expanding their business to a full-time job, and equipped them with the visioning and organizational tools to take the next step.

MEET THE APPRENTICE: Vanessa is apprenticing at @freshrootsfarmmb this summer through the Young Agrarians Apprenticeship Program.

Repost from @freshrootsfarmmb:

“Hey everyone! It’s about time we introduced you all to Vanessa, who joined the Fresh Roots Farm team this year as our resident apprentice via the @youngagrarians Farm Apprenticeship Program.

Vanessa has been with us for one month already, and has wholeheartedly jumped into life on the farm. She is a BSc Agronomy student at University of Manitoba, though moved here from B.C. to learn more about agriculture on the Prairies. She has a rich, varied work and life experience, including a Red Seal in Automotive Refinishing, working at a therapy farm, zoo, and experience working on commercial beekeeping operations.

It was clear to us from the beginning that Vanessa is passionate about the care of animals, and we are so lucky to have her doing many of the daily chores for our chickens, sheep and cattle, in addition to apiary work and vegetable gardening. She is a momma to her 3 cats (and now 2 bottle lambs)! She is hardworking and believes in our goals for regenerative agriculture here on the farm.

Vanessa sees herself fitting into an agrarian future after completing her degree with a career in conservation agronomy, and continuing to support ecological methods. She dreams of having her own piece of land to raise livestock and keep bees, and contributing to community food security and sovereignty.

We were also lucky to have had some help during her first weeks from her husband Oz, who helped us make many hive frames for our quickly growing apiary this Summer.

We’re feeling very grateful to have Vanessa on our team this season, and have enjoyed the supports of the Young Agrarians Apprenticeship Program’s first year in Manitoba!”
