Congratulations to Dr. Jodie Snoek, recipient of the 2025/26 Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week Scholarship! 🎉

Growing up on her family's swine farm, Jodie developed a lifelong passion for agriculture and animal health. Today, she is giving back to her community as a mixed animal veterinarian at the Walkerton-Hanover Veterinary Clinic. Her academic excellence, leadership, and commitment to supporting local producers make her a truly deserving recipient of this year's award.

Congratulations, Dr. Snoek, and thank you for your dedication to the future of agriculture and veterinary medicine! 🐄🐖🐑🐾

📢 Grey Bruce Farmers' Week 2027: New Dates, New Location!

We are excited to announce that Grey Bruce Farmers' Week will be moving to the Carriage House Event Centre for our 2027 conference season!

📅 2027 Conference Dates:
🐄 Beef Day - January 6
🥛 Dairy Day - January 7
🐐 Goat Day - January 8
🐑 Sheep Day - January 9
🌱 Crops Day - January 11

Please note that there will be no conference programming on January 10, and Horse Day will not be part of the 2027 Grey Bruce Farmers' Week lineup. Grey Ag Services will be exploring opportunities to develop horse-focused programming as a separate event.

This was not an easy decision. We have enjoyed many years at the Elmwood Community Centre, whose team has always been incredibly accommodating and supportive. We are sincerely grateful for everything they have done to help make Grey Bruce Farmers' Week a success.

Grey Bruce Farmers' Week began in Hanover nearly 60 years ago, moved to Chesley in 1986, then to Elmwood in 1998. Now, for 2027, we are returning to Hanover!
