Farms at Work

Our Mission is to promote healthy and active farmland in east central Ontario. In order to accomplish this, we strive to:

  • Support farmers in diversification and expansion to ensure that farmland stays in production
  • Attract new farmers to the region
  • Ensure access to local farmer training opportunities
  • Provide opportunities for new and establishing farmers to integrate into the agricultural community through mentorship, internship and events
  • Support access to farmland and financing by new farmers
  • Engage farmland owners who are non-farmers in active use of their land for agricultural purposes
  • Create partnerships and outreach that result in on-the ground farm stewardship in the region.
