Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week (GBFW) returns for its 60th anniversary from January 7–12, 2026, marking six decades of agricultural learning, connection, and community. This long-standing conference and tradeshow will once again be held in person at the Elmwood Community Centre, with the option to livestream from home.
The 2026 program features 6 commodity days starting with Beef Day, Dairy Day, Goat Day, Sheep Day, Horse Day, and ending with Crops Day. There is no Ecological Day, but sustainability themes have been woven throughout the week! This agricultural conference features an impressive range of speakers and a lively tradeshow where producers can connect with local agri-businesses, service providers, and commodity organizations (Check out the full list of exhibitors and days attending on www.GBFW.ca).
Organized by Grey Ag Services in partnership with commodity groups from Grey and Bruce Counties, GBFW continues to bring producers, agribusiness professionals, and industry experts together for an exceptional week of
learning and networking. In true GBFW fashion, the in-person experience includes a hearty hot roast beef dinner, plus goat and lamb served on their respective days! Pies once again will line up the dessert tables in addition to Chapman’s ice cream bars (Thank you, Chapmans!) - because nothing inspires great networking like great food! Attendees can also pick up exclusive 60th
Anniversary GBFW swag throughout the week.
