Wolfe Island Field Trip and Picnic
The NFU New Farm Project is offering a field trip and picnic on Wolfe Island to visit three interesting farms, tour the new wind turbines and have a picnic at the Big Sandy Bay park.
There will be a bus waiting on Wolfe Island to take up to 50 people around for a day of learning and a great chance to meet other members of the local farm and food community. This is a free event and the bus will be seated, first come first served. People are welcome to follow along in their own vehicles if the bus is full.
