Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture Minister Gerry Byrne says it’s important that young people understand where our food comes from.
On Sunday, some farms in Atlantic Canada will open their doors to the public as part of “Open Farm Day.” This year, the event will take place in-person and online. Five farms on the west coast will take part including Hammond Farm in Steady Brook, Wright’s Family Farm in Pasadena, Robbins Family Farm in Deer Lake, as well as the Upper Humber Settlement and Rideout’s Farm in Cormack. Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture Minister Gerry Byrne says it’s important that young people understand where our food comes from. In the past, more than 4000 people visited farms across Newfoundland and Labrador and participated in Open Farm Day events. www.atlanticopenfarmday.ca.
