Growing up on a Dairy Farm on the edge of Uxbridge and married a farmer 49 years ago so farming is very important to me. Last 4 years ago for the Sesquicentennial, Durham’s agricultural roots where highlighted and Beach family were recognized for farming in Canada for over 150 years. My side of the family missed out as they have only been farming for 146 years.

I love to share my passion for farming. For for 9 years I have organized the Farmers of Uxbridge which it is in its 10th year. It took a lot of work and time to put this event together but that’s part of farming. Was held at the Arena Hall end of August. Residents came out to learn about 25-30 local farms and what they produce, where products are marketed and how crops are used. This event was fun for the whole family.
