The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) along with Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) and the Poultry Industry Council (PIC) hosted a series of webinar for Northern Ontario to encourage participation in the poultry industry and CFO’s Community Programs.
From Keewatin to Kapuskasing, Neebing to North Bay, residents of Northern Ontario interested in raising poultry for eggs and/or meat participated in this three part webinar series.
The webinars included training, sharing of best practices, and information about opportunities for farmers, including CFO’s Artisanal Chicken® program which provides an opportunity for farmers interested in growing between 600 and 3,000 chickens annually for local markets.
Currently, over 20 farmers in Northern Ontario are part of CFO’s Artisanal Chicken® program.
