Advisory Service
EFAO’s Advisory Service connects member-farmers who have specific on-farm questions with experienced farmers who are willing to share their experience and knowledge.
Consultations are available to all EFAO members.
How it works
How do I request a consultation?
You can submit a request online or over the phone at (519) 822-8606. We will do our best to ensure you receive a reply within a week, depending on the time of year and the nature of your request. Please note that due to current COVID-19 restrictions, EFAO staff are working in a more limited capacity so reply times might be somewhat delayed.
