CARROT CACHE
Enter to win!
The Carrot Cache is once again offering a $1,000 prize for innovative, low cost solutions to planting, harvesting, and managing food grown ecologically in Ontario. This is a great opportunity for farmers to share proven, creative ways already in use on-farm to build financial and environmental sustainability. Share your innovation or feel free to send details about the Innovation Prize to anyone you think has an innovation worth sharing. We’d love to see any tried-and-tested innovations. Submissions will be shared with attendees at the 12th Annual EFAO Conference: Pathways to Prosperity and attendees will have the chance to vote for their favourite on-farm innovations. The winner will be announced at the Conference. Submissions must be received by 9:00AM on Monday November 17.
