Buddists Jeff Varcoe and Krysta Wall, owners of Liberty Way Farm, have won exemption from paying a registration fee required under the Farm Registration and Farm Organization Funding Act.
The Ontario Agriculture and Agribusiness Appeal Tribunal ruled in their favour after hearing evidence that the Ontario Labour Act allows religious exemptions.
Varcoe and Wall testified about their belief in Buddist teachings, specifically the Eightfold Path.
Liberty Way Farm is at Dundas and runs a school.
