The Smithers Farmers' Institute (SFI) is the voice of a diverse group of farmers. Established in 1909, the SFI recognizes that farming is not just a lifestyle - it puts food on the plates of families throughout the Bulkley Valley.
Currently, we are collaborating with a sheep producer to investigate locally creating wool pellets, we are looking into potential poultry processing options, and we are staying in touch with District C Farmers' Institute regarding the expanded BC Vegetable Marketing Commission regulations.
Past events include conferences, workshops, participating in working groups to help develop a regional food and agriculture strategy, a regional food hub feasibility assessment, participating in province-wide Farmers' Institute gatherings, and sitting on project advisory committees for the Climate Change Adaptation Program.
Join the Smithers Farmers' Institute and let's talk all things agriculture!
