Peek inside three different farms on Canada’s Agriculture Day 

February 22 is Canada’s Agriculture Day!

Celebrate with us by joining our tours of three different types of Canadian farms.  Each webinar will be 20 to 30 minutes in duration.

Learn about a PEI vegetable farm  

Join us for a tour of Bunny Burrow Vegetable Co. with the McKenna family in beautiful Kinkora, Prince Edward Island. See how a family farm grows carrots and turnips on a large scale. Do you need different types of soil? How long do these vegetables keep? How do you get them ready for grocery stores? 

Meet Gordon and Andrea McKenna who farm with their three children, Coy, Alexandrea and Charlie. Gordie and Andrea love talking about how their food is grown. They’ve hosted many farm tours, presented at school events, and mentor young people through a co-op student program. Andrea also leads an organization that does research and provides environmental sustainability research to farmers.
