EFAO is thrilled to partner on the Glengarry Soil & Crop Annual Open House at Springfield Farm. Drop by for a field walk and learn about soil health on the farm, talk about techniques like cover cropping to promote healthy growing conditions, hear from guest speakers and learn how the Glengarry Soil & Crop Association can be a support for your farm. Come with your questions!

You will also have the chance to meet and get to know other interested farmers and community members and enjoy some delicious refreshments.

Springfield Farm offers on-farm experiences, small grains, produce, honey, maple syrup and prepared foods and from their certified organic 120 acre location near Apple Hill.

This event is presented in partnership with Farmers for Climate Solutions and with funding support from the On-Farm Climate Action Fund. Find additional resources on the FaRM Learning Hub.

We warmly thank the local producers, experts, and partners who shared their time and insights for the first round of content. Their contributions are what make this platform valuable and rooted in real-life experience.

We also gratefully acknowledge the Ontario Trillium Foundation for the funding that made the creation of this platform possible.

We are actively working to make all content available in both official languages, and we look forward to working on Round Two

Help us identify the challenges and opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Eastern Ontario created by the new Trump tariffs.

PARO is conducting a survey to better understand how these tariffs are impacting local businesses. Your input is essential in helping us advocate for policies that support our region’s economic resilience.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could circulate this survey within your network:
