Winkler's Kroeker Farms Ltd has sponsored $10,000 towards the Canadian Organic Growers' Stand Up For Organics campaign.

“This is a very special gift to our campaign and it will make a positive difference to our sector,” says Rochelle Eisen, President of Canadian Organic Growers. “I want to thank everyone at Kroeker Farms for their generous support!”

Money raised from the Stand Up For Organics campaign goes to help fund COG’s planned projects for 2017.

“COG is an important advocate for Canadian Organic growers and plays a leadership role in the organic sector while delivering key educational programs and organic information,” says Wayne Rempel, Chief Executive Officer and President. “We want to be a leader in supporting their work and encourage others to support this campaign.”

Kroeker Farms Ltd is a 60-year-old, family-owned farm headquartered in Winkler.

The farm is one of the largest growers of organic potatoes, onions and cereals. It's situated on approximately 5,000 acres, fifty percent of which are irrigated.
