Featured stories include a report on the Ontario Federation of Agriculture’s annual directors’ tour which took place this summer. Farm leaders from across the province visited several of the farms and agri-businesses which illustrate the innovation and diversity of the county’s agricultural community. Another showcase of local agriculture is the Norfolk County Fair held earlier this month. Ontario’s fourth largest fair attracted well over 100,000 people and exposed them to the wide array of crops and products produced locally. One of the unique features of the fair is the Ag Awareness program aimed at young students. About 1,400 Grade 6 students took part in the event. This edition of Norfolk Farms contains something for almost everyone, including a story on a local quilting guild. Norfolk Farms is the only publication solely devoted to the local agricultural sector. We encourage feedback and story suggestions from a joint effort our readers. Look for future editions in February, April, June and October, 2018.

Peaches and some other tender fruits have been grown in Norfolk dating back into the early 1900s. Several families have been at the heart of peach growing in the county, including the Hasketts, Chadwicks, Sowdens, McClungs and Matzs. When Tom Haskett, present owner of T and J Haskett Farms, purchased the family farm in 1966, it included two to three acres of peaches his grandfather had planted. “I had grown up around them and was always interested in tender fruit,” he said. At the time Haskett bought the farm, Grant Fox was the big peach grower in southern Ontario and one of his orchards was available. Haskett made a deal to lease one of Fox’s orchards and to learn more about tender fruit. Then he planted his own orchard, and has continued to since then. In Norfolk County, peaches are near the northern limit of their Tom Haskett, owner of T and J Haskett Farms. range.

  • Long Point Region, Kettle Creek and Catfish Creek Integrated Water Budget
    Long Point Region, Kettle Creek and Catfish Creek Integrated Water Budget Final Report April 2009 Prepared by LONG POINT REGION, CATFISH CREEK AND KETTLE CREEK INTEGRATED WATER BUDGET REPORT Executive Summary For the purposes of the Clean Water Act (MOE, 2006), a partnership was formed in 2004 between the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA), Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA), Catfish Creek Conservation Authority (CCCA) and Kettle Creek Conservation Authority (KCCA) to form the Lake Erie Source Protection Region. The four Conservation Authorities agreed to jointly undertake research, public education, and watershed planning and management for the advancement of drinking water source protection for the respective watersheds. This report documents the approach and findings of the Integrated Water Budget for the Long- Point Region, Catfish Creek and Kettle Creek Conservation Authority (LPRCA / CCCA / KCCA) Study Area. The Integrated Water Budget outlined in this document is meant to partially fulfill the requirements of the Province of Ontario’s Clean Water Act (2006), and follows the guidelines developed by the Province (MOE, 2007). A water budget, as described by the Province’s Water Budget Guidance Document (MOE, 2007), is an understanding and accounting of the movement of water and the uses of water over time, on, through, and below the surface of the earth. This Report implements the use of two coupled models, a continuous streamflow-generation model (GAWSER) and a steady-state groundwater flow model (FEFLOW), as well as a rigorous water demand estimation process. It provides an extensive and integrated understanding of hydrologic processes and water use in the Long Point Region, Catfish Creek, and Kettle Creek Conservation Authorities.
