Young Agrarians – Treat 6 Territory Prairies Mixer

Nov 9, 2023 | 11:39 AM

The first-ever Prairies Mixer is happening on Dec 2-3, 2023 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Calling all regenerative farmers, food growers, local food enthusiasts, and mixed-grass prairie advocates

Join us for a weekend of community building, knowledge sharing, and storytelling! This year’s theme is “Rooted, Grow Deep”, an ode to what remains of the mixed-grass prairie on the land we are farming on. This is an invitation to rediscover how vast and varied the grasslands used to be and find our individual connection to it in order to practice better stewardship and advocate for its conservation.

In the spirit of YA Mixers, this weekend is designed as a networking event and in particular, to build a strong and active community of new farmers in the prairies. It is a great opportunity to create transformative relationships among each other rooted in the common desire to steward the land by learning from one another and from Indigenous leaders in the spirit of reconciliation and relationship building. The mixer is open to everyone – whether you are 3 or 83, we love agrarians of all ages.
