Big things are happening on the North Trail! 

The team from FortWhyte Farms and the Ben and Rose Puchniak Woodworking Studio are officially hard at work installing a brand-new shade structure and outdoor classroom.

This new spot will offer some well-deserved shade for trail explorers and serve as an open-air classroom for thousands of students each year to learn, discover, and connect with nature.

Looking for something different to add to your list for next year 👀🌾
@fortwhytealive

Harvest Supper at FortWhyte Farms was such a lovely evening. We checked out the  farm, and shared incredible food, drinks, live entertainment, and good company
... and yes, the chickens were my highlight😂

What makes it even better is that it’s all for a good cause, supporting youth through environmental education, outdoor experiences and hands-on learning opportunities

Basically, a beautiful evening with a purpose that goes beyond the dinner table 💕

The raffle prizes were pretty great additions to aim for; but no luck for us this time!

Winnipeg keep this is one on your radar for next year!
🍂🍂 🍂 

Also to note to my beer enthusiates;$1 from every OGC x FWA beer sold anywhere (vendors, LC, OGC, FortWhyte) goes directly to FortWhyte Alive!
