Day 10 - FFF Photo of the Day
Today we went to the first (annual - I hope) Small Farms Manitoba Conference in Oak Bluff.
Small Farms Manitoba is the brain child of Kalynn Spain who has spent the last 1-2 years meeting and profiling small farmers around the Province and has created a wonderful website that provides a platform for all small farmers to reach their customers. Whether you are looking for great local food to eat or want to find work on a farm, check out the website to easily find what you are looking for.
The conference was a resounding success, drawing loads of farmers and producers from all over. While there was some great content and much learning, one of the most valuable things about the day was the ability to connect with others that show the same passion and have similar experiences. Farming can be a pretty solitary enterprise unless you make efforts to connect with others. It was great to network, share a great meal and learn some new things. Thanks Kalynn for making it happen!
