We’d like to wish you a happy Family Day! Whether you’re together with your family or not this holiday, we hope that you find a way to enjoy this special long weekend. To help celebrate, we’re sharing photos and interviewing a few of our egg farm families. Did you know that many Ontario egg farmers work together with their families to keep the farm running? Farm life is a beautiful thing. Let’s hear what they have to say!
