PHOTOS: Delta’s agricultural heritage celebrated at annual Day at the Farm

Guests enjoyed hay wagon farm tours, live milking demonstrations, potato digging and fresh produce

Families, farmers and conservation groups came together on Westham Island Saturday (Sept. 7) for the Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust’s 14th annual Day at the Farm.

The Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust (DFWT) is a non-profit organization established in 1993 that is committed to developing and supporting innovative and cooperative solutions to farmland and wildlife management issues on the Fraser River delta.

Local farmers are at the core of DFWT’s stewardship programs and its direct participation in wildlife conservation has resulted in the continued provision of critical habitat in one of Canada’s more important regions for migratory birds.

Day at the Farm is an agricultural fair that provides interactive displays and hands-on activities for the whole family. Guests took part in wagon farm tours led by members of the Delta Farmers’ Institute to learn about farming in Delta, watched live milking demonstrations by the BC Dairy Foundation and even harvested their own potatoes at the BC Fresh Potato Dig.
