On Sunday, Sept 18 many proud MB farmers will be opening their gates to invite folks like you and me into their workplace, home, livelihood – their Farm!
Join Manitoba Canola Growers as they partner with the Van Ryssel Dairy Farm in the Oakbank area. There will be hourly tours of the dairy facilities – cow barn, calf barn and milking parlour, equipment and tractors to view and a treat tent on the lawn. On top of all that Allison and I will be there helping you crush your very own sample of canola oil! Afterward you will earn a canola shopping bag that you can load with recipes and a kids activity book.
Hours: 12 noon to 5:00 pm
