Bite of Brant spreads thanks to volunteers

Letter to the Editor:

Farmers produce food for us to eat………….if you have eaten today, then you depend on the farmers of Brant County and the agri-food industry The 29th annual Bite of Brant program was held at the Burford Fair Grounds on April 9th and 10th , 2024. Over 1000 enthusiastic Grade 5 students, plus teachers and some parents, were introduced to the source of local foods and its vital role in our economy and society.

We are indebted to the many presenters and their families, who represented their various commodities and agri-businesses, plus the many other volunteers

Thank you for your commitment, your patience and for sharing your expertise.

We would also like to thank Brantford City Council, Brant County Council, District 6 Grain Farmers, and the Optimist and Lions Clubs of Scotland, Burford, Mt. Pleasant, Glen Morris and Paris, for their financial contributions; and the

Brant Women’s Institute for serving meals to the Volunteers.

From major responsibilities to smaller tasks, the support of all those involved is appreciated and vital to our success

We thank you!
