David and Jennifer VanDeVelde; Dave Levac, MPP for Brant David and Jennifer VanDeVelde’s idea for converting their tobacco farm is bearing fruit and incomes well beyond their expectations. By planting ever-bearing strawberries and raspberries, and retrofitting the equipment they already had, these innovative growers built a business that has three part-time student employees and several part-time and full-time labourers. In 2008, they saw a 45 per cent, year-over-year increase in customer traffic. The VanDeVeldes are looking at an even bigger 2009 with a new website, radio and print advertising, and more outdoor signs.
