'We recognize how important it is for us as farmers to donate back to the community and the big need we have,' says Simcoe County Beef Farmers Association President Katherine Giffen. With inflation and rising costs, the need is now. Often smaller food banks don't get the same support from all levels of government that larger food banks receive. This is local beef, which again is really exceptional for us, and we are grateful to Jim Whitley for that,' says Reverend Lorna May. We will give weekly to our families, and ground beef is such a diversified way of making meals.

'It's wonderful because it will last probably a few months. The first half went to the food bank in Creemore at St. 'We learned about it from other county or districts that have done this type of thing, and it just fit with our farm and what our county association wanted to do, and so yeah, the stars all aligned for us,' says Whitley. Jim Whitley, a farmer on the advisory council, donated roughly 500 pounds of beef from his farm. Food banks in Simcoe County have now stocked up on beef thanks to the Simcoe County Beef Farmers Association.
