We started the day with a visit to the "Wild Blueberry Producers association of Nova Scotia" where we were given a rundown on the growing and marketing of the regional crop that is specific to northern America.
We then visited a Market called “Masstown Market” where the owner Eric Jennings gave us a run down on the business which he started as an outlet for his farm grown produce from a small shed which now employs 100 staff over the summer and 70 in the winter and has grown into a very impressive business.
We had lunch at their business and then onto the Nova Scotia Agricultural College which we would call a University in Aus. We meet with four researchers over the afternoon that showed us some fascinating work they are doing.
Alec Jack (AKA Lord Jack) then gave a presentation to a group of students and faculty and did a great job.
We then headed back to our farm billets for dinner before meeting at a local hall at 7pm for three of our team to give presentations to a collection of local farmers.
Once again James, Ben and big Dave did a fine job and served Australia well as ambassadors.
