Welcome to a new podcast about farming in BC! This first episode, a conversation with Emily Huxter, a beekeeper based in Armstrong. 

In our conversation, Emily contrasts honey production on the prairies and the Okanagan, why the economics of beekeeping is probably not what you have assumed, and why 50% of a jar of 100% Canadian Honey may actually be from Singapore.

Submit Your One Idea for Government Spending on the Ag Sector

On May 27 I’m planning to release an episode about Canada’s Next Policy Framework for Agriculture, which will greatly influence how the ag sectors of BC and Canada get funded. For that episode, I would really love to hear from some of you. What’s your one big insight or idea about how our governments should invest in agriculture that they’re either not currently doing or doing wrong? I’m interested in both your grand ideas but also just little tweaks to funding that you think would improve our sector. To share your idea, you can send me a voice recording, or invite me to interview you for 5 minutes. Either way, visit farminginbc.ca/submit to quickly and easily get hold of me.
