Lisa Guenther is also the president of the CFWF this year. “The Canadian Farm Writers Federation includes … members from every province in Canada,” she says. “Our purpose is really networking and professional development for our members in the industry.”
The CFWF annual meeting is held in a different part of Canada every year “so we get to see agriculture in different regions across the country because there is quite a variance in the industry.” Guenther says she was pleased with this year’s attendance of nearly 100 for the event.
