Today marks Dumping Day across LFA 33 and 34 — one of the most meaningful days of the year for families here in these Lobster Fishing Areas in Southwest Nova. While Briden Farm may be on land, our hearts and prayers are with the men and women out on the water, on the wharves, and their families back at home. 

Many of our neighbours, friends, and even members of our extended Briden Farm family are part of the Lobstering tradition. And as anyone from this region knows, Dumping Day isn’t just the start of a season — it’s a moment filled with memory, pride, and reflection.

Families across our communities woke up before dawn, praying for calm seas and safe passage. Some headed to the wharf. Others watched from shore. All felt that familiar mix of hope and worry.

We want to invite our readers to take a moment today to think of the crews working the waters — and the families waiting ashore.

To all the men and women out on the boats, and helping on the wharves, today:
We’re praying for your safety and wishing you a bountiful season.

Blessings from all of us at Briden Farm.
