Hey there, time traveller!

Neepawa’s Farmery Estate Brewing Company is one of 16 Manitoba organizations that received funding from the province on Friday because of its commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
The province awarded a total of $1.5 million in grants to these groups through the Conservation and Climate Fund, with Farmery receiving $150,000 of that sum to help “reduce carbon emissions” from its craft brewery production.
“Our government is proud to support these innovative projects that further reduce carbon emissions, create good jobs and build strong, sustainable and prosperous communities,” Environment and Climate Minister Kevin Klein said in a press release.
“These initiatives will advance our government’s priority to transition to a low-carbon economy, while maintaining our current status as one the cleanest economies in Canada and around the world.”
The Manitoba government launched its Conservation and Climate Fund initiative in 2020 to support projects being implemented by non-profit organizations, educational institutions, municipalities and northern communities to tackle climate change and protect the environment.
The Farmery Estate Brewery has been operating in Westman since 2016, although brothers Chris and Lawrence Warwaruk sold their first Farmery Premium Lager four years prior.
Key ingredients are harvested from Farmery farm fields and transformed into beer at the company’s brewing facilities in Neepawa.
According to the company’s official website, Farmery is committed to sustainable farming practices, measurable ESG (Environmental Social Governess) advancements, a low carbon footprint and socially responsible consumption.
