High Heels and Canola Fields

Last month at the Women of Influence Entrepreneur Awards, this video was shared to introduce the finalists. Still feeling incredibly grateful to be included among such inspiring women, and to be part of a room filled with leadership, courage, and big ideas.

The responses afterward stayed with me. “We had no idea… I’ve never met a farmer before…I get it.” It sparked so many meaningful conversations, and I’m incredibly grateful to share this message beyond our industry ❤️

Proud to share how The Do More Agriculture Foundation continues to lead, help and support farmers and rural communities.

A couple weeks ago I was back in Colombia for ALIM 2025 🇨🇦✨🇨🇴

I joined 400 milling leaders from across Latin America and was grateful to speak on behalf of Sask Wheat on a sustainability panel led by the Government of Saskatchewan, representing the value chain from field, to miller, to baker - alongside Trimex and Bimbo.

I shared what makes Canadian wheat world-class:
🌾 Healthy soils and carbon sequestration
🚜 Zero till, soil/tissue testing & precision ag
🌱Tech, innovation and research
👨‍👩‍👦 98% family-owned farms

The feedback? Real appreciation for our quality, scale, and stewardship.

My ask at the end of the panel: When sustainability programs are considered and built, farmers need a seat at the table and are part of the conversation. Policies work best when they reflect real farm experience.

And of course, I did a little exploring too — the Walled City of Cartagena never disappoints. Plaza Santo Domingo → Calle de la Iglesia → Umbrella Street → Plaza de la Aduana → City Walls
Warm, colourful, full of history. 🌴💛

I’m so grateful to represent Canadian agriculture and keep sharing our story on the world stage. 🌾✨

I've officially moved to the front of the family selfie. We've taken a picture every harvest, it's the only birthday present I want. So glad we've kept up the tradition ❤️ Do you have any family traditions you do each seeding or harvest?

Home is where the family, and the fields are 🌾🧡 From our farm family to yours, wishing you a harvest of gratitude, health and happiness this Thanksgiving!

"By speaking openly, showing compassion, and making mental health part of everyday conversations, we can create a culture where asking for help is as natural as calling the vet for a sick calf or repairing a broken piece of equipment.”

In her new blog post, The Do More Agriculture Foundation co-founder Lesley Kelly shares how stigma has shaped farm culture and how communities can break the silence together.

High Heels and Canola Fields

Inspired by real life events 🙈

Farming with your family and spouse during a time like harvest isn’t for the faint of heart lol. Before and after harvest I seem to share a lot….”I apologize for all the things I said during harvest.”

We’ve been on a harvest marathon for a few weeks straight now. Harvest is such a special time but we’re starting to really feel the grind and lack of sleep. But we’re happy we got a light shower to have a day to recharge, catch up on laundry, (maybe have a nap) and watch the Blue Jays win the World Series 😉

What do you do to relax/destress on a rain delay?
