NOTES FROM THE FIELD: Our Manitoba Apprenticeship

NOTES FROM THE FIELD: Our Manitoba Apprenticeship Coordinator, Jenn, recently sat down with apprentice Deirdre Madill to learn about their busy season at Dunrea Farming Company. ⁠
⁠
Dunrea Farming Company is spearheaded by Kara Burrell with support from her spouse Brian Meaud, who owns and operates a 4th generation grain farm. They grow a variety of vegetables, garlic, and fiber plants, and operate and attend two summer markets.⁠
⁠
When she's not weeding, harvesting, and looking after a variety of animals, Deirdre enjoys working at the Boissevain Farmer’s Market with her mentor Kara, where she gets to connect with regulars and build bridges between her retail experience and farming.⁠
⁠

Exciting news! The National Farmers Union has laun

Exciting news! The National Farmers Union has launched THE EXCHANGE - a new cohort-centered national program to help maximize the long-term success of equity deserving farmers in Canadian agriculture, through access to staff support, funding for training, grant-writing support, mentorship, networking, a centralized Resource Hub online, and more. ⁠
⁠
Equity-deserving farmers include, but are not limited to, Indigenous farmers; Black and other racialized farmers; women farmers; youth farmers; 2SLGBTQI+ farmers, farmers with disabilities; and farmers in Official Language Minority Communities; and all farmworkers in these same groups.⁠
⁠
Applications for the first cohort are open until Sept. 27th, 2024 at 12pm EST. The first cohort starts in October 2024. Applications for the second cohort will be accepted in Jan/Feb 2025.⁠

In light of the recent BC Tree Fruits Cooperative

In light of the recent BC Tree Fruits Cooperative closure, the North Okanagan Land to Table Network has gathered a list of resources to support orchardists through this challenging time. Head to their blog at the link in our bio to find information on employment, gleaning, storage, and distribution opportunities.⁠
⁠
Our thoughts are with all of you that have been impacted by this closure. 💚

Meet Brianna & Louise of Blooms on 7 Flower Farm,

Meet Brianna & Louise of Blooms on 7 Flower Farm, a stunning flower and alpaca farm in Sherwood Park, Alberta, offering one-of-a-kind on-farm experiences in their field of flowers or with their herd of alpacas. They host immersive floral design workshops that go beyond crafting a beautiful arrangement - they also promote sustainable floristry and regenerative agriculture. You can learn more about their herd of alpacas during educational alpaca Meet and Greet sessions or just enjoy hanging out with the herd during one of their Date Nights.⁠

Last season, Brianna & Louise took our Business Bootcamp for new farmers and enjoyed the opportunity to dive into writing a stellar business plan that blended together both aspects of their business: flowers and alpacas.⁠

Join us on September 22nd for a full-day farm tour

Join us on September 22nd for a full-day farm tour of two innovative Creston farms that have been working hard to reduce their carbon emissions and improve the energy efficiency of their farm infrastructure. This event will include a morning farm tour at Full Circle Farm, a potluck lunch, and an afternoon farm tour of Cartwheel Farm.⁠
⁠
In addition to all infrastructure innovations, both Full Circle Farm and Cartwheel Farm are dedicated to their soil’s health, using low/no till methods to build and protect the carbon in their soil. This tour will be a rich learning opportunity with lots of discussion on how we can reduce fossil fuel use on farms, sequester more carbon in our soils, and adapt our farming practices for a changing climate.⁠
⁠
DATE: Sunday, September 22, 2024 | 9am – 3:30pm PST⁠
⁠
LOCATION: Traditional territory of the Yaqan nuʔkiy peoples of the Ktunaxa Nation⁠

We hope you can join us!⁠
