Lethbridge to host Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers National Event

The Alberta Outstanding Young Farmers (OYF) Region is preparing to host Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers’ National Event which will take place at the Sandman Signature Hotel Lethbridge, AB from Nov 27- Dec 1, 2024.    

Alberta’s OYF regional chair, Jinel Ference states, “Ag business is comparable to the peaks and valleys found in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta.  It takes great strength, perseverance and commitment to navigate the journey of being producers in agriculture and the Outstanding Young Farmers of Canada are exceptional examples of this.” 

 Every year this event brings recognition to outstanding farm couples in Canada between 18 and 39 years of age who have exemplified excellence in their profession while fostering better urban-rural relations. Seven entrepreneurial farm couples from across Canada chosen from their home regions will present highlights of their operations at the National Event on Friday November 29.

Sunflowers at Gordon Skagit Farms

Video: Sunflowers at Gordon Skagit Farms

Last year we had the chance to tour the 8-acre sunflower field at Gordon Skagit Farms and today I thought it would be fun to share some of the footage we filmed with you. If you’re within driving distance of the Skagit Valley and are looking for something to do this weekend, Gordon Skagit is open through the end of the month. In addition to having more specialty squash, pumpkins, and gourds than you can imagine, you will also be able to see this amazing sunflower field in its full glory.
