This project builds on Grain Farmers of Ontario’s success with the Your Farmers project in 2016 which showcased three Ontario grain farmers regularly sharing videos and photos from their farms and their daily lives throughout the spring, summer, and fall.

The project will help bridge the gap between farmers and the non-farming public. 52 Weeks of Your farmers will put a relatable face on farming and is an opportunity for the public to get to know the people that grow the food they eat.

Every week in 2017, Good in Every Grain will share a new farmer profile on www.GoodinEveryGrain.ca/YourFarmers, and on social media through Facebook, and Twitter.

The profiles will include photos, information about their farm, as well as personal information to help the non-farming public relate to the farmers. Follow #YourFarmers to stay up to date.
