PEI POTATO BOARD LAUNCHES VIGNETTES

It takes an Island. This memorable tag line underscores the uniqueness of Prince Edward Island potatoes in seven vignettes to be released in 2020. The project is a spin-off of an advertising campaign launched in 2017.
 
Even in Prince Edward Island with a small population of 157,000, there are consumers who are misinformed about potato production. This outreach project is designed to put consumers in touch with how potatoes are grown.
 
"I've had some good friends that are very smart that don't know how potatoes come out of the ground," says Mark Phillips, marketing specialist, PEI Potato Board.
 
The seven videos address the themes of introducing the PEI potato industry, planting, growing, harvesting, grading, family traditions and uniqueness.

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
