You’re invited to a Pastured Poultry Production and Policy Primer at Fresh Valley Farms in Armstrong, BC on March 1, 2025, co-hosted by Young Agrarians and the Small-Scale Meat Producers Association. Come out to learn all about raising poultry, connect with other poultry farmers and share your experiences and policy ideas for new and young farmers.
Join other farmers to learn about poultry production practices, developing resilient business plans, best practices for placing chicks and brooding, risk assessment tools for poultry producers, avian influenza in pastured poultry settings and so much more. Share your voice during an afternoon policy panel and discussion to inform YA’s policy work in collaboration with federal and provincial governments to develop Canada’s first National New Farmer Strategy, which will aim to address the most pressing barriers faced by farmers in the network who are the future of our food systems.
