I am an Accredited Professional with Holistic Management Canada and a Hub-verifier in Eastern Canada for the Canada Hub of the Savory Institute. Heidi and I raise beef and pastured poultry on their farm with the help of our 4 daughters, Brooke, Haley, Ruth and Skylar. Cory and Heidi also mentor a growing team of young farmers. Our family business is the VG Family organization which includes an abattoir and 9 retail stores that serve the GTA, distributors, restaurants, and other retailers. Currently, the VG organization is working intensely on social regeneration with their supplying family farms, team members and customers. I have an M. Sc. in Agricultural Economics. My favourite steak is ribeye.
