A fruit farmer from Keremeos, B.C. is British Columbia’s Outstanding Young Farmer for 2022.
Gurpreet Lidder, who runs an 80-acre fruit farm under the Lidder’s Produce banner, received the award during a regional event in Abbotsford.
Though he accepted the award, he shares the acknowledgement with everyone involved in the operation, he said.
“It’s not just me,” he told Farms.com. “I have a really great team with people who are passionate about agriculture. “This award is an example of what happens when everyone works together. I share it with them.”
