Local 334

Including Northumberland, Prince Edward and Hastings Counties, Local 334 is a geographically large and diverse region. Recently our focus has been on re-invigorating our local, and bringing back the John Della Bosca Grant for Growers.

 

John Della Bosca Grant

The John Della Bosca Grant began in 2012 and was offered for several years by NFU-O Local 334, in conjunction with Prince Edward County Convivium of Slow Food. For many years John Della Bosca was an inspiring leader and NFU-O member near Belleville. He worked with the NFU-O local to create this grant, supporting projects on local farms. John passed away in 2013, and his presence was sorely missed in the local farming community; so at that time the grant was re-named in his honor. After a brief hiatus due to COVID 19, we enthusiastically revived the grant in 2024 with the help of Community Power Northumberland to support the energizing of farm projects in our NFU-O Local 334 region.
