Since 2014, farm families have generously opened their farm gates to thousands of Ontarians for Breakfast on the Farm. This year, we’re doing things a little differently.
NEW in 2021! DRIVE-THRU Breakfast from the Farm!
Farm & Food Care Ontario is seeking volunteers to help at our first-ever Breakfast from the Farm event. This contactless, family-friendly event will give visitors a glimpse of what farming is all about from the comfort of their own vehicle! Outgoing and friendly volunteers are needed to welcome our visitors and set the tone from the moment they arrive. Please read the full event description.
