@AmyVanderheide I love those! Are you able to get them locally? One of my Dutch summer students introduced them to me.

[Jill MacDonald @jillbizzit]

@LPConsultingLtd These would have come in handy!

[Jill MacDonald @jillbizzit]

@mccallumrobyn @CorySilas These look interesting, I’ll look into them. Thanks!

@lesleyraekelly Worries about keeping distance between them and workers to keep them safe. A lot of workers on the farm are older folks that we have to keep safe too.

[Jill MacDonald @jillbizzit]

@lesleyraekelly Difficult to get the greenhouse started with physical distance in between workers and tight quarters getting down through the greenhouse aisles. The farm is still owned and operated by 80+ year old grandparents.

I can only imagine how much hard work already went for organizing this conference, so I am deeply disappointed for that reason. But of course, health and safety before anything else. Now I have another reason for looking forward to #2021

@AmyVanderheide See you at the conference!

[Jill MacDonald @jillbizzit]

@mccallumrobyn I have to do this too

[Jill MacDonald @jillbizzit]

@NSTreeFruit @MaddenRosalie @NSPerennia So delicious! Thank you @MaddenRosalie

[Jill MacDonald @jillbizzit]

A great morning at the AVCC breakfast, hearing farmer panelists speak about their experiences in agriculture. @AmyVanderheide @nplangelaan & Greg Gerrits.

[Jill MacDonald @jillbizzit]

@lesleyraekelly @rachabrwn Check this out :)

[Jill MacDonald @jillbizzit]

@lesleyraekelly I believe you have to be willing to jump in and help with the ‘dirty work’ too. Don’t just instruct, but guide as well. Good communication and ability to listen to understand, not only to reply.

This morning at @NSPerennia we tasted some of the different varieties of apple produced in Nova Scotia. Such a unique experience to compare them and feel the differences in flavour and texture. Thank you @NSTreeFruit for this tasting! #novascotia #nouvelleecosse
