Cultivator by Conexus unveils future of Sask. agtech innovation

Apr 04, 2025

Cultivator powered by the Conexus Credit Union announced the fourth cohort of its Agtech Accelerator at Canada’s Farm Show in Regina last week, with the three-month program offering resources to help participating companies scale their businesses.

The new cohort includes startups from across Canada and the UK and was unveiled on March 19.

The Saskatchewan-based program has already supported 47 agtech companies across three cohorts, empowering them to scale with capital, mentoring, and valuable industry connections.

Laura Mock, director of Cultivator, said the program is pivotal to attracting global talent to the province.

“Based in Saskatchewan and connected globally, this program leverages the natural strengths of Saskatchewan’s agricultural ecosystems to help founders build out their agriculture innovation in a way that will add value to producers,” Mock said. “Founders and farmers are at the heart of everything we do with the accelerator.”

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.

Did you know we also operate a small business on the homestead. We make homemade, handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, hair and beard products in addition to offering our pasture raised pork, lamb, and 100% raw honey. You can find out more about our products and ingredients by visiting our website at www.mimiandpoppysplace.com. There you can shop our products and sign up for our monthly newsletter that highlights a soap or ingredient, gives monthly updates about the homestead, and also lists the markets, festivals, and events we’ll be attending that month.
