We need your help!
Farms at Work had been chosen for a crowdfund campaign by Small Change Fund. We are launching our campaign "Checking out Farm Bugs" to try and raise money to buy a microscope to support on farm research in our region. The microscope will also be available to the farming community. Check out the campaign here https://smallchangefund.org/project/7rgbnbuxDuiJNeTey
Tax receipts are available for all donations. Please donate and share to help us reach our goal!

We had a great day focusing on Production Planning with Judy Coward (OMAFRA) and Bryan Smith (Allied and Associates) helping participants out. We are looking forward to the next day where potential funders will come out and tell participants about different programs to fund their farm business.
