This past October 2025, NL Young Farmers hosted its 12th annual Leadership Summit in Clarenville. The two-day education and networking event revolved around the theme of “Cultivating Sustainability.” The first day included presentations and panel discussions about reducing food waste, sustainable food distribution, Ukrainian farmers in NL, and Indigenous food sovereignty. The feature documentary Tea Creek – a film that explores an Indigenous food sovereignty training centre in northern British Columbia – was also screened. The day ended with a networking banquet featuring products from local farms.

 

The second day was a collaboration with AgriCare NL, the mental health and farm safety program administered by the NL Federation of Agriculture. It included a visit to Farm & Market Clarenville to discuss building wellness through community, a tour of Three Mile Ridge in Lethbridge to explore the benefits of farm safety, and a tour of Outport Acres in Bloomfield for a chat about farmer-focused mental health.

​

We look forward to our next Leadership Summit in 2026! In the meantime, enjoy some photos from 2025!
