THE BRACKENDALE FARMERS INSTITUTE and FALL FAIR
A not for profit organization with a strong emphasis on agriculture, community, and health.
With monthly meetings held the second Wednesday of each month, an annual FALL FAIR in early September and all year long outreach, the BFI provides opportunities for community support and connecting, education for farming, gardening and food preserving, marketing of local products, and family strengthening. Volunteering at the Fair is best for people who live in the Squamish area.
