Raising crops and Raising funds!

A dozen combines will roll into our barley field east of Gibbons, Alberta on land generously donated by Suncor (thank you Suncor!). We’ll harvest 280 acres of barley in a matter of hours with proceeds going to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank to help the hungry. The CFGB works in 30 developing nations to help those struggling to feed themselves and their families. Our farmers raise the crops, helped out by our agri-business supporters that provide crop inputs as well as individual sponsors contributing by sponsoring an acre through Grow Hope. Our farmers donate time and equipment to plant, nurture, and harves the crops.

Everyone is welcome to come out, learn a bit about our efforts, join us for free BBQ'd burgers, and see how these combines make short work of the barley field.

Remember, it's weather dependent so check out sharetheharvest.ca for updates.

Hope to see you there!

Many thanks to all who contribute to make this all come together. You ARE making a difference!
