In this period of gift-giving and feast-making, we want to encourage our network from across Canada to purchase food and gifts from regenerative farms in their local communities. We are happy to take this opportunity to shine the spotlight on some of the farms on our map, who are doing the hard work every day to regenerate soil while producing high quality food and products.
