Now, I know I said in our Meet the Family blog post that we’re all pretty camera-shy, and that’s true! However, we did step outside of our comfort zone this past summer when an opportunity to work with with Farm and Food Care arose.

Farm and Food Care is a whole-sector coalition made up of representatives from all farming types and associated businesses, and positions itself as the helpful expert on Ontario agriculture. The common goal is to build public trust in food and farming in Ontario and across Canada. Farm & Food Care Ontario is active in promotion, education, program development and consumer research.

This past summer, Farm and Food Care partnered with Berry Growers of Ontario (aka BGO, an organization that represents - you guessed it - berry growers in Ontario!) to create some videos featuring berry farms. I’m the Chair of BGO and when they were looking for a blueberry farm to film on, I offered up our patch.

Fast forward to July 2023, and a film crew rolled onto the farm. It was quite the experience, but in the end we had a wonderful time sharing and showing off our farm, and the Farm and Food Care team put together a beautiful video. Check it out below!
