Intro

 

Grey Bruce Farmers Week has been a main stay for the agricultural industry in Grey County since 1966.  The featured commodities have changed as our agricultural focus has changed, but the mandate to educate local farmers and agribusiness has remained firm.  The tradeshow is filled to capacity on several days.  Ever changing to meet the changes in the make-up of the agricultural picture in Grey Bruce,  we are happy to announce that in 2012, Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week will expand to a 7 day event, making Ecological a full day affair. Please find the dates below.  The event takes place in Elmwood, Ontario (#38 Queens Street West), at the Elmwood Community Centre, (link to a map) located approximately 1 mile west of the Elmwood Variety Store.
