The Nova Agri Group of employees, together with its six families of owners, are celebrating their 40th anniversary of
farming in the Annapolis Valley with a contribution of $50,000 to Our Community Our Health, an $8 million project to enhance facilities at Valley Regional Hospital and build a Hospice and Palliative Care Centre.
“We are very proud of the 50 plus different fruit and vegetable products we produce under the Country Magic label and decided to celebrate our anniversary by contributing to the health of the community in which our customers and employees live and work” says Earl Kidston, Nova Agri Group. “Making fruits and vegetables a major part of your diet, together with exercise, is an excellent formula for a healthy lifestyle, a longer lifespan and reduced health care costs for all Nova Scotians.”
The Nova Agri Group of Companies is comprised of Dykeview Farms Ltd, Nova Agri Inc, Blueberry Acres, Between the Bushes Restaurant, Salad Acres and Vital Berry Farms. Their operations have expanded over the years to include packing, marketing, research, product/process development, and Agri-tourism (BtB and u-pick; linking the farm operations with the urban consumer).
