Rebecca Gell of Kyrbram, Australia, spent a few days with Fran and Jim Farrell as part of an Organic Co-operative Exchange. Rebecca is the ambassador for True Organics in Australia and is the herd manager of a 700-cow dairy at Wyuna. Much information was shared between them regarding organic certification and practices. It was interesting to note that most of our regulations are the same and that the demand for organic products is continually growing. Carmen Farrell took Rebecca touring Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula Monday. Tuesday, they met with Jenny Butcher of Organic Meadow, and Rebecca will continue visiting on farms in Eastern Ontario.
