Meet The Staff
In our office, we’re more than just co-workers — we’re a family. Each of us brings our own quirks, talents, and personalities to the mix, making every day a little lively and a lot of fun. We work hard, support one another, pray for each other, and know how to laugh through the chaos.
Sure, we might be a little nutty at times, but that’s what makes us who we are — a sweet blend of teamwork, laughter, and shared purpose. Together, we get the job done, lift each other up, and make our workplace feel like home.

Our Values
-
Family
We value family-based farming where the family is involved in the ownership, management and everyday work of the farm.
-
Farm Diversity
We envision a rural landscape that has a place for large, medium and small farms.
-
Stewardship
We support stewardship practices that will leave our farms in as good or better condition for the next generation.
-
Balance
We work to develop farm policy that balances social, economic, and environmental concerns.
-
Stewardship
We see ourselves as stewards – not masters – of the land, plants and animals we farm. This commitment goes beyond the property line. Our decisions envelop care for nature, our neighbours and the next generation.
-
Justice
We pursue policy that focuses on the people of agriculture as much as the success of farm businesses.
-
Fair Price
We value marketing systems that fairly compensate farmers for their labour and stewardship efforts.
-
Vocation
We believe farming is a calling from God as a career and way of life. Farmers can glorify the Creator through their stewardly care of creation.
