Holiday Gift Giving for the Farmer Homesteader and Property Owners in Your Life

Merridale Farms is all about guiding nature to produce high-quality, all-natural products that are farm crafted cider (and other spirits) made with heritage cider apples, slowly fermenting the juice from the first apple pressing.

At Merridale they work with nature, work to reduce their environmental footprint and also strive to be a force for good both in the environment and in their community.

For more on Merridale Farms and the business of cider, please see the November-December 2022 issue of Small Farm Canada.

Video: What’s at Stake in Every Slice | On The Brink: Episode 7

Six hundred Canadian farms grow grain for Warburton's under custom contract — and that partnership exists because of Canadian plant breeding. Now the man responsible for maintaining it is sounding the alarm.

Adam Dyck is the program manager for Warburton's Canada, a company that produces over two million loaves of bread a day for more than 20,000 retail locations across the UK. He's watched Canadian wheat deliver thirty years of yield gains and quality advancements that make it worth sourcing at scale — and shipping across the Atlantic. But he's also watching the investment conditions that produced those gains come under pressure. Dyck makes the case for a new funding mechanism that brings both public and private dollars into wheat breeding before Canada's competitive window starts to close.
