Our vision at Peak of the Market is to ensure that all Canadian fill half their plates with fresh produce. It all starts with educating young people on the basics of growing food, which in turn, creates educated adults who support our important agricultural industry,” said Pamela Kolochuk, CEO, Peak of the Market, in a statement.
