We also welcome On-Farm Processors, Kampkreek Dairies, to present their farm to table journeys and will kindly be providing samples of dairy and meat products fresh from their operation (samples are included but some products will be available for purchase).

Farming Foodies Annual Event
To support our highest GDP industry in Perth County we are planning on hosting this event on an annual basis to broaden understanding, and advocate for those who work tirelessly to bring our essential needs to the table.
Each year, we will invite a variety of professionals in the field, who will share their expertise, conduct workshop demonstrations, and provide insight into this fundamental trade.
