Each participating farm will offer its own unique experience. Visitors will explore working farms, meet the farmers who grow our food, and participate in educational activities and family fun! Event details for New Brunswick are available at www.atlanticopenfarmday.ca.
“Agriculture is a key economic driver that so many of our communities here in Atlantic Canada depend on. Atlantic Open Farm Day is an excellent opportunity for folks to visit farms in their area and learn more about where their food comes from and the hardworking Atlantic Canadians who produce it.”
– The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food
“New Brunswick farmers work hard to provide the delicious food we enjoy every day,” said Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries Minister Margaret Johnson. “Open Farm Day is a great opportunity to visit a local farm and learn where our food comes from. It’s also an ideal chance to thank the dedicated New Brunswickers who work on our farms and expose urban families to rural activities and lifestyle. I encourage everyone to take part.”
– Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries Minister Margaret Johnson
“Open Farm Day is an excellent opportunity to introduce a wider, more diverse audience to daily life on the farm, as well as to the know-how and ethics of our farmers. Come and enjoy an authentic and engaging behind-the-scenes experience!”
– Joël Lamarche, Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick President
Visitors can plan to take part in unique events in their home province or discover life on the farm across Atlantic Canada online.
