July 15, 2022 – Bridgewater, Nova Scotia - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)
Aspiring, new and experienced farmers will have an opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills at farmer-led workshops and demonstrations at this year's Small Farm Expo.
The expo, now in its sixth year, will take place on Monday, July 20, at the Bridgewater Exhibition Grounds. Participants will discover how small-scale farmers are building on traditional farming knowledge and practices using modern production technology, farm business management and marketing.
"Farmer-led workshops provide new farmers with a great opportunity to learn from seasoned veterans in the agriculture community. Our Government is proud to partner with the Province to help give Nova Scotia farmers access to the tools they need to grow their business and our overall economy."
- Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz
"The type of connections formed at events like this, between experienced farmers and new farmers continue to build our agricultural industry. This expo creates stronger ties and partnerships in the agriculture community, which is all part of the growth we are seeing in the agricultural sector in Nova Scotia."
- Nova Scotia Agriculture Minister Keith Colwell
