Eco Farm Day

A winter day full of food, friendship and inspiration – it’s Eco Farm Day 2015 and it’s a highlight of the season for organic (and organic-curious) farmers and gardeners in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. You’ll start the day at the keynote presentation by Tony McQuail, Healthy Land, Healthy People, Healthy Profits: Holistic Management for Sustainable Agriculture, continue with interactive workshops, break for a feast of local foods, and have plenty of opportunity to visit with old friends and new, as well as investigate the products and services of the exhibitors and sponsors. 

Join us on Saturday, February 28, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall. The day is presented by the Ottawa-St Lawrence-Outaouais chapter of Canadian Organic Growers (COG), in cooperation with Organic Meadow. The focus is on practical techniques and management skills that work in our area. Workshop topics include beekeeping, pork production from farrow to finish, open pollinated field corn, small-scale organic certification, root cellars, and more – all with an emphasis on sustainable organic stewardship of land, food and fibre. There is simultaneous translation of the keynote presentation and three workshops.

Registration, including lunch, is $60 (before Feb 14) or $75 at the door, with a $10 discount for COG and Organic Meadows members. A sliding scale down to $25 is available for limited-income individuals.
