The long-standing Elgin Car-A-Van Tour gives visitors opportunity to explore the Agri-food industry in Elgin County each autumn. This year’s tour included five stops in Central and East Elgin. Presented by Elgin Federation of Agriculture, the tour never fails to reveal some surprising glimpses into the work that happens on farms tucked along roads of our rural backyard. You will find a few photos from three of the stops in the slideshow below.
At Sunny Acres Morgan Horse Farm, Tim and Wendy Inch have been breeding, raising, training and showing Morgan horses for 31 years. Debeckere Farms transitioned from tobacco to fruits and vegetables in the early 2000s. The Gay Lea Heritage Museum purchased Andy and Lotty vanKasteren's extensivie collection in 2010 and now operate the facility.
