Peterborough County Farmer Social

Let’s get together!

Celebrate agriculture with other farmers from across the County. Whether you are young or old, all about beef, a dairy farmer, a beekeeper, maple syrup or vegetable enthusiast, into chickens or sheep – you are invited.

We will:

• learn about new agricultural communication initiatives in the County

• discuss local agricultural priorities for the future, and how we can work together

• enjoy special guest speaker Dan Needles** on "Land, Neighbors and the Power of Farmer Thinking: stories and laughter about the place we call home"

Hot supper included, including ingredients sourced from local farms.

1:30 coffee/registration; 2 – 5PM program; 5 - 6:30PM social and supper

This event is being organized by a Roundtable of local farmers, and sponsored by a variety of farm groups in the County.
