Remembering John Gras

ST. MARYS, ON – We are saddened to announce that John Gras, one of our fellow farmers, friends and colleagues has passed away.
 
John was a long-time chicken farmer from St. Marys, Ontario.
 
A contributor to our industry in many ways, John chaired the Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) District Committee Representative (DCR) team in District 3 and has served his community in great ways over the years through a number of volunteer initiatives.
 
John will be deeply missed by family - his wife Janie and his children Kayla, Trevor, Devin, Brayden, and Amy at home, as well as his daughter Lauren & Adam (Scarborough) and grandson Emmett of California, his fellow farmers, the CFO team and many others from the agricultural community.
 
We will miss his dedication and commitment to our collective industry, his willingness to work tirelessly on behalf the CFO farmer-members in his District, and his kind and graceful demeanour.

We cover: we are chatting with Dan Gangon of Broadfork Farm in Virginia. I saw Dan and his partner Janet speak at the VABF conference a few years back and I just loved how down to earth they were about the ups and downs of winter farming, farming in general, and work life balance, which is a lot of what we chat about today. We are also gonna be talking about how and why they certify as Certified Naturally Grown, and how that label has worked for them.
