From innovation in the field to healing through horses, the 2025 Excellence in Agriculture Award recipients remind us that agriculture can nurture both the land and the human spirit.

The other Excellence in Agriculture Award recipient this year is also focused on healing, but Rosy Farms practises regenerative agriculture. The farm soil has been enriched and restored to grow organic haskap berries. Learn more about that journey to restore the health of the soil.
