Equity-deserving farmers include, but are not limited to, Indigenous farmers; Black and other racialized farmers; women farmers; youth farmers; 2SLGBTQI+ farmers, farmers with disabilities; and farmers in Official Language Minority Communities; and all farmworkers in these same groups.

Meet the Farmers of The Exchange

Welcome to the heart of The Exchange – our community of farmers, farmworkers, and land stewards committed to growing a more inclusive and diverse Canadian agriculture. Here, you’ll meet inspiring individuals from across the country, each bringing their unique backgrounds, experiences, and visions for change to the land. Through The Exchange, these farmers are gaining the mentorship, training, and support to pursue their goals, build lasting connections, and thrive in agriculture.

Get to know the people behind the movement. These profiles highlight their journeys, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the dreams that drive them. Each story is a testament to the resilience and creativity shaping the future of Canadian agriculture.
