On Saturday, March 28, 2026, the Town of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, will co-host a day dedicated to supporting local farmers and helping new farming businesses get started. The event, known as Agriculture Day, brings together community members and experts to talk about the future of food production in the region.
The gathering will take place at the Best Western Plus Hotel & Convention Centre and is organized by the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg along with the Town of Bridgewater, the Municipality of Chester, and the Region of Queens Municipality. Provincial partners including the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture and Invest Nova Scotia are also supporting the program.
The goal of the day is to encourage new farming ventures and help existing farmers find ways to grow and innovate. This initiative is supported by Grow Southwest Nova Scotia, which provides local resources and data specifically for the unique growing conditions found in this part of the province.
This free event is designed for both long-time farmers and people who are just thinking about starting a career in the industry. It offers a chance for people in the farming sector to network and learn from each other to help the local economy thrive.
