WW2 Canadian Ontario Farms Service Force Farmette Brigade Lapel Badge

The WW2 Canadian Ontario Farms Service Force Farmette Brigade Lapel Badge is a vintage artifact issued during the Second World War to members of the Ontario Farm Service Force, a civilian organization established to maintain agricultural production in Canada. The Farmette Brigade, often composed of women and young people, was formed to address labor shortages on farms caused by wartime enlistment. This badge would have been worn on the lapel as a symbol of participation and contribution to the war effort through agricultural work. The badge typically features enameled detailing with the brigade’s insignia and clear lettering indicating its association with the Ontario Farm Service Force. Such items are of historical interest due to their connection to the Canadian home front and the mobilization of civilian workers during the 1940s. This badge serves as a tangible reminder of the collective efforts made to sustain food supplies and support the military during World War II.
