Production, Policy and Community Mixer for Market Gardeners

February 22 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

You’re invited to a Production, Policy and Community Mixer for Market Gardeners on February 22, 2025 in collaboration with the National Farmers Union! Join us to hear stories from successful market gardeners, talk resources, connect with other farmers and food lovers, share a delicious meal and build community around vegetable farming in BC.

This event will also provide you with an opportunity to tell your own stories about the barriers and opportunities you have encountered along your farming journey as part of a national conversation about what policies and programs are needed to support the next generation of farmers. Our afternoon policy workshop with experienced farmers and policy experts will inform YA’s work in collaboration with federal and provincial governments to develop Canada’s first National New Farmer Strategy, which will aim to address the most pressing barriers faced by farmers in the network who are the future of our food systems.

DATE: Saturday, February 22, 2025 • 10am-4pm

Registration is free. Grab your spot here: https://youngagrarians.org/feb-22-2025-merville-bc-production-policy-and-community-mixer-for-market-gardeners/
