JUNIOR FARMER PRIDE
ON DISPLAY
CENTURY FARM SIGNS
CONTINUE
The Junior Farmers’ Association of Ontario (JFAO) is
excited to announce its new gate sign initiative that
allows alumni and current members to proudly display
“Alumni Lives Here,”“Member Lives Here” and custom
gate signs on their property.
The initiative was formally launched in September at
the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo held in
Wellington County. A limited number of signs were made
available for the launch but after an overwhelming
response from the public, the JFAO has made it possible
to order the signs through their website at: http://www.
jfao.on.ca/resources/gate-signs.Content was prepared by Amanda Brodhagen, Executive
Director of Marketing in partnership with Better Farming
(JFAO Sponsor).
The rural Ontario landscape is dotted with many farms
that have been in the same family for 100 consecutive
years or more. The Junior Farmers’ Association of Ontario
(JFAO) is proud to offer a program called the Century
Farm Sign (CFS) that allows farm families to display a CFS
on their property. The CFS program began in 1967 as a
Canadian Centennial project of the JFAO and proudly
continues today.
CFS are available for $75 (price is subject to change
without notice) and certain requirements must be met in
order to be eligible. Additional details and application
forms are available through the JFAO website at: http://
www.jfao.on.ca/resources/programs.The JFAO also offers 125, 150, 175 and 200 year add-on
signs to recognize family farms that have reached mile-
stones beyond 100 years. Add-on signs may be pur-
chased for $40 each.
