Now in its third year, the program welcomes innovative ideas to improve soil conservation and soil health. During the tour, we visited three farms located in different parts of the county. Each farm varied in size and production, representing a range of agricultural commodities.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Proverbs 27:17 – “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” Mentorship has always been a quiet yet powerful force behind the success and sustainability of agriculture. In an industry deeply rooted in tradition but increasingly shaped by innovation and change, the passing of knowledge, values, and experience from one generation to the next is not just helpful — it’s essential.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Commentary - As Christians, Should We Be Paying Closer Attention to Our Climate? - July 10, 2025 | Thomas Tavani</image:title>
      <image:caption>As many of you reading this know, I am a Christian. I had my “come to Jesus” moment 25 years ago, and since then, I’ve believed every word the Bible has to offer—including the account of creation in Genesis. For most of my life, I never paid much attention to the climate. In fact, I often argued that the climate hadn’t changed since the beginning of time. One of my go-to lines—something I heard often and repeated myself—was, “God is in control” or “The earth is going to die anyway, so let’s leave that subject alone.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Commentary - New Beginnings - June 27, 2025 | Simon DeBoer - Long time member of CFFO</image:title>
      <image:caption>On March 6, 1954, during a meeting in Strathroy, a group of four Dutch immigrant farmers made the significant decision to establish a provincial Christian farmers' organization. The intention was to create an umbrella body to unite several local groups, primarily based in southwestern Ontario. Was this concept entirely new? Both yes and no. These men had grown up with the idea of faith-based farm and labor organizations and felt a deep Christian calling and responsibility to carry this vision forward in their new homeland. They sought to be a witness of God's Word—even in Canada.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Commentary - Why Net Zero Isn’t a Realistic Goal for Agriculture - June 13, 2025 | Charlotte Cuthbert, Communications Coordinator with CFFO</image:title>
      <image:caption>There’s been a lot of talk lately about “net zero” emissions. Governments, corporations, and advocacy groups are setting bold targets—many with the year 2030 circled in red. And on the surface, who wouldn’t want to reduce emissions and protect the environment? Farmers certainly do. After all, we rely on healthy soil, clean water, and stable weather more than anyone else.</image:caption>

It’s the ‘why’ for this, that has to concern the animal livestock sector and those who want to make a livelihood in the abattoir business.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Commentary - Moving Forward in Faith - May 2, 2025 | Charlotte Cuthbert, Communications Coordinator with the CFFO</image:title>
      <image:caption>Now that the election has passed, it’s no surprise that many are feeling a mix of strong emotions—fear, anxiety, and uncertainty about what lies ahead. Concerns about rising food and gas prices, the state of the economy, housing costs, utilities, healthcare, education, and so many daily necessities weigh heavily on people’s minds. For some, the future feels bleak; for others, there’s hope. In the midst of it all, it can seem difficult to hold on to peace or optimism. Yet this is precisely when we must stand firm in our faith—trusting that God remains in control. He knows our hearts, our worries, and our deepest fears. This season is a true test: are we leaning on our own plans, or trusting in His?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Spring has sprung, though it may seem a little optimistic to say so, especially as I write this commentary. There's not only snow on the ground here, but this morning's temperature was -11°C. However, spring is here, and the maple syrup season has ended—after a winter that will certainly be remembered. My heart goes out to all those who incurred property damage from the snow and ice storms that swept through our province. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost loved ones in all of this. It is a part of life that can hit us hard, but may you feel God's loving care during this time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It is an unfortunate reality that the various “tit for tat” moves in international trade can pit Canadian agricultural sectors and farming regions against one another. Canada’s farming sector produces high quality goods for Canadian consumers and is one of few nations genuinely capable of producing significant food exports. This means trade is vital to the success of many farming businesses.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Al and Diane Bergsma - In 1995, we began farming, full of hope and ambition after a rewarding stint in the Canadian Air Force. Landing on the farm that was situated neatly between the farms of both of our parents in Shetland Ontario, we were able to get a healthy start in farming. Our family grew along with the farm, and we were blessed with five boys (Levi, Dustin, Dalles, Jordan and Jesse) and then two girls (Charity and Brooklyn). We worked as a family to sacrifice and contribute to the success and growth of our operation, and each of our children had their special skills of which they shared generously.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Ray and Sharon Halma - That is how Ray Halma explains the reason he and his wife, Sharon, built their organic feed store. Ray and Sharon Halma farm near Troy, where his family moved from New York State in the early 1980’s. In New York, Ray’s father, Ray Sr., ran a dairy operation which was sold after the family settled onto the farm in Troy. Here in Ontario, they switched to the hog industry and cash cropping. After experiencing some ups and downs in the hog market, they decided to focus on organic cropping and began raising organic beef in 2006.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Ray and Sharon Halma - That year was a late and wet spring; no one had been able to get on the land for spring seeding, which meant that a lot of crop seed was still stored in the Halmas’ barn and all was lost in the fire. Fortunately, most of the seed companies were able to assist them in supplying their customers with new seed for that year’s planting.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Brian and Elisabeth Vandenberg - Brian and Elisabeth Vandenberg have a passion for supporting young people in agriculture, but all four of their grown children have pursued careers outside the industry.

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Brian and Elisabeth Vandenberg - “I have a passion for the younger generation,” says Brian. “At the abattoir, I have seven employees who would never have had this opportunity if I didn’t take this project on. It blesses me so much to watch them develop and use their creativity to be such a blessing to the community. And here again, I see this young couple taking the farm over and being a blessing to the church community, being a blessing to their friends, and to businesses in the area.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Victor and Julia Brassard - The farm is a five-minute walk from downtown Alexandria and is surrounded by 1000 acres of publicly-owned park meadow, forest and wetlands. There’s a public boardwalk right on the edge of their property, which suits the couple perfectly: Their dream is to open the farm to others who want to learn about sustainable farming and homesteading.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Victor and Julia Brassard - Taking cues from wild honey bees, Victor built his own hives, which are higher from the ground than standard industry hives. They also have thicker walls and mimic the dimensions preferred by wild honey bees, which tend to seek out holes in trees with a capacity of around 70L and openings of about four inches in diameter. He leaves the hives’ two bottom boxes alone and will extract honey only from a third box on top. His hives are also spread out across his property, along a winding, five-kilometre trail that Victor affectionately calls his “bee highway.” The bees can take advantage of the natural areas bordering the farm, which gives them plenty of space to roam. “This year, the concept of social distancing really hit home,” Victor comments. “Animals practice that in their own environment naturally.” Victor, like most beekeepers, is fascinated by the way bees work as one body. “They operate in a collective, it’s a living organism. One colony is like one animal. And I’m operating in the collective – I’m a co-creator.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Jan &amp;amp; Jony Roos - Look to your left as you meander down the farm lane, and you’ll spot chickens pecking the grass and goats romping against the tree-filled backdrop of the riverbank. Look to your right, just past the berry patch, and you’ll see a long row of suburban backyards.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Jan &amp;amp; Jony Roos - Jan recounts their early progress: “In 2008, we bought another 200. The following two years, we bought two other herds, 300 and 400 goats. From there we grew out.” Today, they milk 2000. Goats are milked in a state-of-the-art 100-stall rotary parlour, selected after Jan toured several farms in the Netherlands. It’s the first of its kind in North America.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Jan &amp;amp; Jony Roos - Today, they work with one full-time employee and several part-timers. They also employ a handful of teens from the area to help to bottle-feed the baby goats in the winter. “They’re all girls—you need patience to feed baby goats,” Jony laughs. During kidding season, as many as 300 goats are born each day. It sounds like chaos, but Jan and Jony have adapted techniques and systems to keep things running smoothly—including developing their own app. With help from a tech-savvy friend, Jony designed a system for tracking goat-kid health in their first busy months. Employees are equipped with tablets so they can import information for each kid under their care, such as feedings and medication. The information enables Jan and Jony to track the health of their herd. “We used to keep all the information on chalkboards, but the goats kept licking it off,” Jony chuckles. The app has gone a long way toward cutting down frustration and ensuring that all employees have the information they need to keep the kids healthy. During kidding season, the newborn billies are separated from the females and sold to another farmer to raise for meat. But Jan and Jony have plans to diversify their business by raising the male goats themselves this winter.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Mike Scharringa - Mike’s parents, Ed and Elaine Scharringa, started the family-run business in nearby Millgrove in 1985. They grew vegetables, bedding plants, and cut flowers on 60 acres, specializing in sunflowers. The couple sold bouquets at the Ontario Food Terminal and eventually expanded their market across Ontario and into the US. Today, Mike continues to serve many of his parents’ original customers.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Sarah Martin-Mills - Martin-Mills has devised several on-farm revenue streams, if on a small scale. The property has three mature apple trees, so this year they sold apple cider. They keep bees and sell the honey. They sell jam made from their berries. They even grow a little garlic.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Sarah Martin-Mills - Martin-Mills also recognizes that her goals of building community and raising donations can occasionally conflict. “If I’m focused on job training and other experiences for more marginalized people groups, then I’m not earning as much money for overseas missions. But if I’m focused on making money for MCC, then I’m not building community. So, I’m trying to balance that constant tension.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - The Oosterhof Family - Currently, brothers Henry and Alex Oosterhof farm together with Henry’s son, Steve, on the dairy and cropping operation. The farm is growing at a steady pace as they expand their herd from within and purchase more quota and land as opportunity allows. This manages to sustain the three families making their living from the farm.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - The Oosterhof Family - Outside the barns, the Oosterhofs have 500 acres of crop and pasture land. They grow most of their own feed. While the good cropping fields are tiled and kept in a soybean-corn crop rotation, several acres are kept as pasture for the heifers and dry cows. After four or five years as alfalfa fields for hay production, they rotate to no-till corn followed by barley. They find that no-till works well to improve their soil structure.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Bethanee Jensen - Jensen, who farms on 34 acres near Belgrave, grew up in a farming family and always knew she wanted to be a farmer, too. But as a single woman with no financial support from family, she faced an uphill battle. Her first step was to become an accountant, which enabled her to earn money toward buying a farm. In 1993, she made her first payment, armed with a full-time job and a flock of 19 purebred Dorset ewes. For nearly a decade, everything Jensen made went into the farm. She was able to make the leap into full-time farming in 2000. “To my way of thinking, you don’t have to own thousands of acres to make a living off a farm,” she says. “You just have to be creative.”</image:title>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - Bethanee Jensen - It’s easy to understand how hard it would be to retire from a career that was so hard-won. Because she was a single, young woman at the time she first went into farming, banks refused to give her a mortgage. Friends and family laughed at her plans, doubting she could do it alone. “I faced emotional and financial and even physical struggles along the way because I’m not a big person. I did it all on my own,” Jensen reflects. “I’m quite proud of it.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - The Bulk &amp;amp; DeBoer Family - The work going on in the rest of the building—from the board rooms and business offices to the greenhouses and loading docks—is a further expression of that commitment. Otto Bulk, Rosa Flora’s founder, explains: “As a farm built on Christian principles, we believe that we can give God all the glory through the growing of the best fresh-cut flowers in the world.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - The Bulk &amp;amp; DeBoer Family - Given the rose’s hardiness and the revolution of global shipping, it was only a matter of time before other countries would be able to access the North American market at a lower cost than Rosa Flora could do in Ontario. So, they diversified into specialty blooms.</image:title>

      <image:title>Meet The Members - The Bulk &amp;amp; DeBoer Family - Rosa Flora has kept its edge by adopting sustainable technology. Water catchment and wetland filtration systems help the business to use and reuse water effectively. A carefully monitored integrated pest management system reduces the need for pesticides. An onsite wind turbine and a carbon neutral biomass boiler generate power for the greenhouses. Rosa Flora runs at about 95% efficiency—a fact that enables this large operation to remain in Ontario and continue growing.</image:title>
