On August 17, 2023, Ontario's 2023 Outstanding Young Farmer will be announced at an idyllic rural setting. Our gracious hosts, Dana and Adam Thatcher, have opened their farm gates to OOYF alumni, family and friends. Spend the afternoon exploring this amazing farm, enjoy the evening with old friends and make a few new ones.
An excellent 3 course plated dinner will be served by Thatcher Farms exclusive culinary team - Indulge Kitchen. Musical entertainment will be provided by Fiddlestix.
