Claire's Berries are Blooming in Abbotsford with Help from a Farm Grant

Meet Claire, a passionate organic farmer from Abbotsford, British Columbia, who’s just been awarded $25,000 to upgrade her farm's irrigation system. Claire has been cultivating a variety of berries on her family-owned land for the past eight years. With the rising challenges of drought and water conservation, this grant is a game-changer.

The funding will allow Claire to install a smart drip irrigation system that reduces water waste while increasing crop yield. Her goal? To grow juicier, healthier berries while caring for the land that feeds her community.

"Every drop counts," Claire says. "This grant gives me the tools to make sure we're farming for the future."

Her story is a shining example of how targeted investment in sustainable agriculture supports both rural livelihoods and environmental stewardship.
