A Shrug & A Grimace: Two More Gap Stories

This is episode three of our miniseries about GAP Certification for small and medium-scale farms. So far, you’ve heard three episodes about Okanagan farmer Emily Jubenvil and her pursuit of GAP certification to preserve and expand her access to wholesale markets. If you’ve already listened, you know that Emily’s experience was largely positive and entirely successful. We thought we might end the series there, but then we decided to seek out a couple more perspectives about GAP certification from small-scale farmers to put listeners in a better position to judge how applicable Emily’s experiences are to other contexts. 

First: Brandi Smith of Bessette Creek Farm in Lumby.

Then: Anna Helmer of Helmer's Organic Farm in Pemberton.
