Meals in the Fields for 2024 is complete, with 7 deliveries to 7 hardworking producers.
The Kent Family-owned Tim Hortons provided coffee, breakfast sandwiches and pastries, and the CFRY Crew, along with our fantastic partners, made each delivery.
From the first delivery, Dean Toews of Triple Star Manufacturing weighs in on the importance of local farmers.
“They're definitely the backbone of our business, and we appreciate being able to keep our business in the community and helping those that are close to us.”
Brent Wiebe, who owns Image Creek Farms, shared an update on how they were doing when the food arrived.
“We're kind of in between crops now, so we're a little bit slow. But they did well for us this year, even though it was wet and cool this spring. We have a little more optimism than when there was in June and July, so hopefully we'll have a good September here to finish off the rest of the crops.”
