38th Annual Farm and Food Tour explores agricultural innovation in Halton

Sep 12, 2019

Halton Region invites media representatives to attend the 38th Annual Food and Farm Tour hosted by the Halton Agricultural Advisory Committee on Thursday, September 19. This event will discuss the innovative ways in which Halton’s diverse agricultural community is contributing to the growth of the Canadian agriculture and food sector.

The tour will visit a high school that is using FarmBot Genesis to seed, weed and water community gardens, a state-of-the-art Standardbred racehorse training centre and a new craft cidery using apples from a local orchard. The tour will conclude with a locally sourced dinner at Country Heritage Park as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Halton Agricultural Advisory Committee.
