Happy Lammas Day! Lammas (or Lughnasadh in Gaelic)

Happy Lammas Day! Lammas (or Lughnasadh in Gaelic) is an ancient Celtic celebration marking the start of the harvest and the shifting of the seasons. Usually held on August 1, it marks the midway point between the summer solstice and fall equinox.

Traditionally the celebrations involved great gatherings that included religious ceremonies, ritual athletic contests (such as climbing mountains), feasting, matchmaking and trading.

It is said that after Lammas Day, corn ripens as much by night as by day.

We hope you can take a moment to acknowledge the changing seasons, the ripening of crops, and the midway point to fall equinox!

Survey – Extension for Organic Agriculture and F

Survey – Extension for Organic Agriculture and Food in BC 🌱

Calling all farmers, ranchers, and processors interested in extension services for organic agriculture and food – tell us what you need by taking our online survey.

The Institute for Sustainable Food Systems is excited to have the opportunity and funding from the BC Ministry of Agriculture to develop a plan for an extension service for organic agriculture and post-production in BC. What we mean by extension is informal education (e.g. advising, workshops, seminars, farm tours, publications) related to organic methods, tools, and knowledge. If you are interested in organic extension, we want to hear from you. The ministry is listening and now is your opportunity to say what you want and need. You do not have to be a certified organic farm or business to participate.

The survey is anonymous and should take about 15 minutes. Participants can enter a raffle for 1 of 5 VISA gift cards worth $100 each. Survey is open until August 15th, 2020.

Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/OrganicExtensionBC. Or swipe up in our stories today.

To learn more about the project, contact our research assistant Angeli dela Rosa (angeli.delarosa@kpu.ca).

JULY 30: WEBINAR - Farmland Leasing 101 🌾 🍓
Got Land? Want Land? Join our B.C. Land Matching Program Manager, Darcy, in an AgriService BC webinar on land leasing. The high cost of land is a barrier to entry for many new farmers. This presentation will provide an overview of the support available to farmers and farmland holders through the B.C. Land Matching Program, as well as a foundation in land leasing, legal considerations, and how to build and maintain stable land agreements that are mutually beneficial. This webinar is applicable to farmers of all production types and sizes looking to start or grow their farm business on leased land, and farmland holders who are interested in making their land available for agriculture.
