What we're raising in Perth County
More than 75 Years of service
The Perth County Federation of Agriculture represents the unique farming interests of Perth County. After 75 years, we are proud to represent over 1,700 farming families in Perth County with a variety of specializations including dairy, animal husbandry, crop cultivation and green house production. Perth County agricultural producers farm very fertile land that is located in a climate zone that is conductive to producing food, fibre and fuels very competitively.
The PCFA works with local industry producers and government representatives to build a political and economic environment that best utilizes these agricultural resources to benefit our families and community.
We are also committed to fostering a strong agricultural future in Perth County and as such have invested in annual scholarships to promote continuing education, and awards to recognize the tremendous work being done by local producers in this community.
Be sure to join us at our annual Harvest Gala to meet with other local producers and celebrate everything good that is growing in Perth County!
