Ontario's Outstanding Young Farmer Program
The Ontario Outstanding Young Farmers (OYF) program is a provincial chapter of Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers, a national organization dedicated to recognizing and celebrating excellence in the next generation of agricultural leaders. Our mission is to identify and honour farmers between the ages of 18 and 39 who exemplify innovation, professional achievement, and a deep commitment to the agricultural community.
Through our annual Regional Recognition Event and industry tours, we foster a community of alumni, sponsors, and visionary producers. We are proud to showcase the diverse and resilient nature of Ontario’s farming sector while selecting the provincial honourees who will represent Ontario on the national stage.
