“My degrees and certifications, coupled with my interest in small-batch beers, led me to be one of the first hop growers in Ontario. I have been planting, caring for, or harvesting hops for 15 years and ginseng for 20. I am currently the Vice-Chairman of the Ontario Ginseng Growers Association and I serve as a Board Member for the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, and The Railway City Brewing Co.”
