People sometimes wonder how I became interested in food systems and agriculture since I grew up in Montreal and then moved to Vancouver - two significant urban centers by Canadian standards.
Well in Quebec my grandparents invested in farmland in the Laurentians many years ago, and so both my father and uncle, and then my brother, cousins and I, spent a significant amount of time at the farm. Somehow, that place has had a strong influence on a number of us. My father now runs that farm passionately, and my uncle is successfully producing wine, cheese and even chickens in the Niagara region of Ontario.
Check out his winery, Hidden Bench, and the fantastic reviews it is receiving.
