Buy local 🇨🇦

Farmers across Canada are raising concerns as rapid development, rising land prices, and expanding urban growth continue placing pressure on some of the country's most valuable farmland and ranchland. 🌾🚜🇨🇦

From the Prairies to Southern Ontario, and from British Columbia's Fraser Valley to the fertile fields of Quebec and the Maritimes, local farmers say Canadian land is facing increasing pressure from housing developments, industrial projects, warehouses, data centers, and expanding metropolitan areas. Many agricultural families worry that once productive farmland is covered by concrete, it may never return to agricultural use.

One Canadian farmer stated:
"Canada helps feed the world. Once farmland disappears beneath pavement and development, it's gone for generations. Supporting Canadian farmers means protecting our food supply, our economy, and our way of life."

Canada is one of the world's agricultural powerhouses. From wheat, canola, barley, oats, pulses, and dairy to beef, pork, poultry, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, and countless specialty crops, Canada plays a vital role in feeding families around the globe. 🍁🌾

Across Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, and rural communities throughout Canada, many residents say protecting farmland is about more than agriculture. It is about preserving open space, local jobs, family farms, wildlife habitat, water resources, and the landscapes that have defined Canada for generations.

Because once Canadian farmland disappears beneath subdivisions, warehouses, industrial facilities, and endless development...
it may never come back.

🌾🍁 Support Canadian Farmers. 🐄 Protect Canadian Farms. 🇨🇦 Preserve Canadian Land.

Notice all the swallows flying low?

When the lambs graze they disturb the insects harbouring low around the grass The swallows take advantage of the disturbance and the insects being flushed out of the grass to have their early morning feed We love this because in our damp climate it really helps with mosquito control. Mosquitos and other flying insects are often the cause of spreading diseases including Cache Valley Virus (which has not spread this far west … yet ), and pink eye. We love our little swallow friends # #
