FARM IN THE DELL

The Government of Saskatchewan and Premier Scott Moe made the announcement they would partner with Farm in the Dell, the RM of Biggar #347 and the Town of Biggar, local contractors and donors to bring the second Farm in the Dell location to our community.  Farm in the Dell is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing many opportunities and enhancing the lives of adults with intellectual disabilities in a farm like setting. 

The RM of Biggar pledged to build an all-weather road leading to Farm in the Dell in August of 2021, when this concept was brought to the Regular Meeting of Council. The RM of Biggar Council is proud to be a part of this very important project and has fully supported this incredible concept since its inception and is thrilled of this announcement.
