A new program from the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries is providing $800,000 in funding to help accelerate small farm operations across a variety of communities.

“Farmers are vital to the local food economy throughout the province,” Minister of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Lana Popham said. “Through this funding, these new and small farmers will be able to take their farming business to the next level while helping them on the path to economic recovery.”
