Tom Angiers is a long-time farmer who owns and operates Spruce Meadows Farm in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Spruce Meadows Farm's new cold-storage facility allows produce to be stored at temperatures that drastically extend their shelf life, in some cases, by up to ten months. In addition to storing produce grown on his farm, the new storage facility has allowed Angiers to bring in food from a wholesaler in Prince Edward Island. Kim Oliver, who lives in Nain, says getting fresh and affordable food along the northern coast of Labrador can be a challenge. Having access to regionally based sellers like Spruce Meadows Farm, she said, gives her family and others a new avenue to access cheaper, fresher produce.
