On September 19, the Peterborough Agricultural Roundtable hosted local elected officials, staff and agricultural leaders on a bus trip to visit two local farms. The Annual Tour familiarizes participants with farming in the area, ensuring local decision-makers have a good understanding of local agricultural issues.
Participants visited with Mike, Lisa and Cole Fallis at the Fallis Land and Cattle Farm and also toured McLean Berry Farm with Erin McLean. They learned about challenges faced by these farms and also about production of cattle, fruits and vegetables. The farmers talked about their own family stories.

The thirty-four participants had a chance to hear from several speakers at lunch and received a package of excellent information about our local agricultural community. The Farm Showcase Tour is an annual event, visiting different farms each year and providing a flavour of the range of farms in the County.
This event was made possible with sponsorship by Peterborough and the Kawarthas Economic Development.
