MFGA is delighted to partner with Regeneration Canada to bring you a remarkable field-to-fork event like you’ve never experienced. Join us on August 19th with farmers Ryan and Sarah Boyd at South Glanton Farms in Forrest, Manitoba. Ryan and Sarah will guide guests on an engaging journey through their family farming operation, which includes cattle, grain, and a focus on building soil health.
Speakers Paige Kennedy, Education and Research Manager of Regeneration Canada, and Joel Williams, soil health educator, will discuss regenerative agriculture and the impacts of multi-paddock grazing and livestock integration on the health of the soil.
The day will conclude with a delicious, family-style meal incorporating ingredients produced on the farm. The meal will be prepared by chef J.D. Braid of Brandon, MB. The price of the ticket includes the meal.
