OFA set to host annual regional meetings across Ontario

OFA’s 2023 regional meeting season is nearly upon us. For the next three months, meetings will be held across the province, engaging our members in discussions about the highest priority issues, unique opportunities to get involved.

On the fence about attending? Here are three reasons why we welcome OFA members to get involved and attend these meetings:

Learn more about your local Federation – Find out about the various activities, events and programs your Federation is involved in to help promote agriculture in your local community.  Meet your local provincial director and member service representative for OFA updates.

Bring your voice – Regional meetings offer an open space for members to bring forward questions, concerns, issues and priorities to your local Federation leadership and to the OFA.

Vote for leadership and representation – Eligible voting members will elect local representatives for positions at the OFA Policy Advisory Council, and as delegates to the 2023 Annual General Meeting, November 21-22, Toronto.

As a grassroots organization, we value the input of our members. With a unified voice, our local Federations and provincial OFA will continue to help us make a difference in growing, supporting and shaping Ontario’s dynamic agriculture industry.

We cover: today I am so excited to share this conversation with my buddy Eric Nordell of Beech Grove Farm in Pennsylvania to chat about, well, a lot of things. Eric and his wife Anne have run beech grove farm since 1983 and they do things a little differently (like farming with horses) but they dry farm which we discuss, they use some cover crops in the paths in interesting ways (also discussed) and in fact, we get into a whole digression about their deer fencing that you’re gonna wanna hear.
