Alberta Open Farm Days

This weekend is Alberta Open Farm Days, where Albertans can visit various farms, ranches, and local food operations. One of the participating businesses is Premium Sausage at Seven Persons, south Medicine Hat. I had a chance to speak with co-owner Debbie Penner about the operation and why she wanted to participate in Open Farm Days.

Ontario’s flower sector is blooming ??

With more than $1 billion in farmgate sales and over $650 million in annual exports—much of it centred in the Niagara region—Ontario growers are a major force in Canada’s floriculture industry. In fact, the province produces roughly 50% of all flowers grown in the country, serving a market of over 100 million consumers within a one-day drive.

It’s a powerful example of how strategic location, cross-border access, and strong production capacity come together to support both local agriculture and global markets ??

?? Watch as Andrew Morse, Executive Director of Flowers Canada, shares insights and the full story behind Ontario’s tulip industry and its thriving flower sector.
