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.⁠
⁠
🌻 Hear all about Deirdre's season at the link in our bio!⁠

Our thoughts are with all of you that have been impacted by this closure. 💚

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.⁠
