The Explore Local Foods Local Markets workshop is being held next week in Barrhead. This is an introductory workshop for those interested in selling direct to consumers.

I spoke with Ron Erdmann of Erdmann’s Gardens and Greenhouses, one of the presenters, about what those thinking about farm direct marketing should keep in mind.

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
