Our Mission

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.
