Fields near Tryon Head Prince Edward Island, Canada

The Robinson operation grows 2,500 acres of potatoes, forage and barley in the eastern part of Prince County in Prince Edward Island . We use these facilities not only as product sources, but also to "practice what we preach" by testing a variety of approaches to controlling soil erosion and building better organic bases through effective crop rotation. The farm has been recognized for its work in this area, earning the P.E.I. Soil and Crop Improvement Association's "Conservationist of the Year Award" as well as the "2004 Harold Leard Environmental Stewardship Award" presented by the Bedeque Bay Environmental Management Association.
