SUMMARY:Connect For Food
DESCRIPTION:Love local food\, and want to be part of building a sustainable\, secure local food economy? Check out the new initiative called Connect for Food\, which is currently delivering several workshops in NE Alberta. With the theme ‘grow what we eat\, eat what we grow’\, the goal of these workshop is to build a more localized and resilient food system and to increase economic activity in our communities.\n\n\nWe believe that we are all stakeholders and that being better connected and sharing ideas and solutions is the way to change the way we think about our food system. A priority for these workshops is that they are inclusive and are designed to ensure an environment that supports learning and diverse perspectives from participants. If you are part of the wheel\, then these workshops are for you!\n\n\nUpcoming dates include:\nNovember 8th in Ardmore\nNovember 16th in Lac La Biche\n\n\nFor more information\, additional dates or to register go to connectforfood.ca

SUMMARY:When Stress is More Than a Season - Lesley Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Farming can be both a rewarding and demanding occupation where farmers experience highs and lows and mounting stress. Everyone feels stress and there can be lots of negative stress on the farm. As farmers\, we know how to recognize stress in our livestock\, crops\, and equipment. But do we know how to recognize when stress is too much for us and what we can do to help get through those stressful times? \nIn this presentation\, Lesley will share 5 tips using her “Weather the STORM” strategy and the things she’s learned that have helped her family and farm get through stressful times such as: \n– S – Stress: What stress is and the signs and symptoms to watch out for \n– T – Take Action: How to recognize and ask yourself when stress is too much; and knowing that your stress is real but it may be different to what someone else is going through \n– O – Open Communication: How our farm overcame the stresses together through communication and how to talk about mental health on the farm and in agriculture. \n– R – Relationships: What to do when stress from the farm and relationships spill over into each other and can impact our relationships and potentially\, the farm \n– M – Management: Stress management tips and tools to help yourself and others when stress is high and immediate and long term strategies \n  \nJoin us November 17th at the Ashmont Agriplex for Supper at 6:30 with Lesley’s presentation to follow. \nTo register call the LARA office at 780-826-7260
