Growing up on the family farm, a potato and beef operation in Borden-Carleton, inspired Jessica Larsen to pursue a world of possibilities in agricultural careers. Currently a student at Dalhousie Agricultural Campus, Jessica visited Saint Lucia to share about innovative agricultural practices and spent her summer helping conduct soil research with the Department of Agriculture. Jessica was awarded the PEIFA, PEI Agromart & Island Lime Agriculture Leadership Scholarship for 2023.
The Faces of Farming calendar is published by the PEI Federation of Agriculture to connects Islanders with the individuals and families who grow their food, and provide a window into an industry vital to the Island economy, environment and communities.
