Event Description

– On August 26, 2023, Farm & Food Care Ontario (FFCO) and local farmers and volunteers at Ripplebrook Farm will host Breakfast on the Farm. A $5 registration fee for guests will be refunded upon their arrival, making the event free of charge for all visitors.

About Breakfast on the Farm:

This family-friendly event provides a unique opportunity for farmers and non‐farming Ontarians to have a conversation about food and farming. It gives visitors a chance to visit real, working farms, provides a showcase for agriculture and allows non-farmers to have their questions answered by real farmers.

After being treated to an all-Ontario breakfast, visitors can tour a dairy farm and enjoy interactive stops around the farm, including displays, activities and exhibits showcasing other types of Ontario farms. Ontario farmers will be on hand to answer guests’ questions about food and farming.

Since 2013, farm families across Ontario have opened their farms to host Breakfast on the Farm events. These popular experiences have attracted thousands of urban and suburban visitors to local farms across the province. For the past two years, FFCO hosted drive-through and walkthrough events with local fairs as host locations to meet COVID-19 safety guidelines. For 2023’s events, FFCO is returning to the on-farm format.

Breakfast from the Farm is made possible with host Ripplebrook Farm (The MacLean Family) and the support of local agri-businesses and organizations.

Harm farm: Ripplebrook Farm is home to 280 animals and a lot of heart. Their herd of 130 milking cows is milked three times daily in a modern free-stall dairy barn. The farm is also home to seven show-winning quarter horses. Crops on the farm are grown on over 900 acres of land and include alfalfa, barley, wheat, corn and soybeans.

The MacLean family is looking forward to opening their farm gates to provide an opportunity for you to chat with farmers and take a tour of their farm.

US Ag Groups Join Forces to Call for Trade Pact Renewal

A new coalition of U.S. farm and agricultural organizations is ramping up pressure on Washington to ensure the renewal of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA, or CUSMA as it is known in Canada) as the pact approaches its mandatory 2026 review. More than 40 farm and agri-food groups have launched the Agricultural Coalition for USMCA, highlighting the trade deal’s role as a key economic driver for American agriculture and warning that uncertainty around its future could disrupt farm planning and investment. The coalition on Thursday unveiled a new website and announced an aggressive advertising campaign in Washington aimed at reinforcing the agreement’s benefits to lawmakers and the administration. “USMCA is one of President (Donald) Trump’s signature achievements and one that has significantly propelled the ag economy,” said coalition spokesperson Bryan Goodman. While acknowledging that targeted improvements may be needed, Goodman said the group’s core message is tha

US Farm Income Forecast Lower for 2026

U.S. net farm income is projected to edge lower in 2026, with the USDA estimating inflation-adjusted net farm income will fall by $4.1 billion to $153.6 billion – setting up another challenging year for American producers. In nominal terms, American net farm income is estimated at $153.4 billion, down about $1.2 billion, or 0.7%, from 2025, said the USDA’s first farm income forecast for 2026 on Thursday. Net cash farm income, which measures cash flow, is expected to rise 3% to $158.5 billion, though inflation erodes much of that gain. Although still well down from 2022 when farm income peaked at $210 billion, both net farm income and net cash farm income for 2026 would remain above their long-term averages when adjusted for inflation. Total farm cash receipts are forecast to drop $14.2 billion, or 2.7%, to $514.7 billion in 2026. Crop receipts are projected to increase modestly in nominal terms, rising $2.8 billion to $240.8 billion, though they are expected to decline slightly o
