Ag Business Spotlight: Kettle Ridge Organics
When Chris and Leah Simeniuk of Kettle Ridge Organics made the decision to transition to organic grain farming in 2015, they were looking for ways to stay viable on smaller acres.
“We were looking for ways to increase the revenue of our existing acres without necessarily adding more land base. Converting to organic is more hours per acre but so are the returns.” Although the initial leap was made for financial reasons, they have since found additional motivation to stay on their path.
