Keep it Local: Preserving farmland and food security with Heppell’s Potato Farms

Our guest is a fifth-generation farmer and a dynamic spokesperson with more than half a million social media followers. Known as “Potato Ty,” he brings both credibility and reach to conversations about preserving farmland and food security.

The Heppell’s are currently fighting to protect 220 acres on 192nd Street, which is some of the best farmland in the region. Potatoes were planted there in February, and carrots will be harvested in December. This single field alone has the capacity to feed everyone in Vancouver for 2–3 weeks. Yet, like much of the Lower Mainland, it is at risk of being paved over. Our guest highlights the urgent need to safeguard farmland and the role it plays in ensuring Canada’s food security.

Guest: Tyler Heppell, 5th Generation farmer known as “Potato Ty”
