Canadian Farmers Protest

Enfield, Nova Scotia – November 22, 2025

Today, farmers and their supporters are gathering at the Irving Big Stop in Enfield for a local chapter of the national Farmers Protest Canada movement. Starting at 8 a.m., this peaceful demonstration brings attention to the challenges Canadian farmers face, including policies affecting local food systems and farming rights.

At Briden Farm, we’ve always believed in the importance of community, local agriculture, and standing up for those who feed our families. That’s why we want to make sure our friends and neighbors know about today’s event and the broader conversation happening across the country.

For a detailed look at the protest, including the goals, the convoy route, and how you can safely engage or support the farmers, check out the full coverage over at CountryAirRadio.com: Farmers Protest Today in Enfield, NS.

Let’s all continue to support our local farming community — whether by visiting local markets, sharing their stories, or simply staying informed about the issues that affect the people who grow our food.

So, I recently had a little extra time, despite having a heavier workload! 

In this area we’ve definitely been having a drought, and the grass hasn’t grown since the middle of July, so we’re having to move our rotational pastures twice as often. That’s compounded by the Ban on Entering the Woods! It’s a little difficult to use Woodland Pastures when the woods is closed! Having said that, I contacted DNR, the Provincial number referred me to the local number and they couldn’t answer my questions as to whether or not we could use our woodland pastures! So, I called a Specialist from the Dept. Of Agriculture and at least they were able to carry on an intelligible conversation!  Ask ally, their comments were along the line that they didn’t think I’d have any problem but not to hold them to that! Understandably so, as it’s the Dept. Of Natural Resources that is supposed to kmow! Yet, they don’t seem to! No surprise really! 

Anyway, even with having to move our animals at least twice as often to insure the animals have enough forage, and looking over my shoulder to make sure the Premier isn’t coming with His Ticket Book and handing out another $25,000.00 fine for being in the woods! Seriously! 

And Cow Farts cause Global Warming! lol 😉 

So, anyway, since I haven’t been going in the woods, getting no firewood ready for Winter, and as little as possible with or for the animals, it’s actually given me a little extra time. Working harder, but more time! Doesn’t quite seem possible, but apparently it is!
