WHAT - Educational Farm Tour at Good Family Farms - Healthy soil, food and people.  Regeneratively raised beef, pork and chicken in located in the heart of Grey County.

WHY - Learn why the health of your body and the planet depend on this sustainable way of farming and food production. 

This is an organic/regenerative local farm committed to providing healthy food using sustainable practices.  From their website - “We are a Certified Organic Farm where we raise livestock, grains, and vegetables.  Our grains and cover crops support our livestock and our livestock supports our crops.  Diversifying what we grow allows our farm to work as a whole there we can manage pests without the use of harsh herbicides or insecticides.  Having livestock such as pigs and chickens gives us a reason to grow grains such as peas, oats and barley as a polyculture (grown together) which allows for a longer cropping rotation.  Also, because our beef is grass fed, we rotate our crop fields back into pasture for 2-3 years allowing the cattle to graze which drastically increases soil health.  Allowing pasture to be part of the cropping rotation is highly beneficial to the nutrition of the soil, which is our sole goal; healthy soil”.  https://goodfamilyfarms.ca/
