The Rural Voice, 2000-07, Page 5Cover story
Despite the plenitude of western Ontario's
farming region, very little economic spin-off in the
form of food processing remains from the days
when small food plants dotted the landscape.
Now and then
intrepid indivi-
duals start up
food processing
cottage industries
and sometimes
they grow to be
much larger. Ken
Bustin, "The
Pickle Guy" is a
Grey County
success story with
constant growth in
the past 12 years.

Water, even more than food, is essential to life, as we've been
reminded by the E. coli tragedy in Walkerton. But have we
taken water for granted and have we been careless because
of it? It's an important subject for all rural residents because
we draw our water from ground sources so Janice Becker
examines the issues this month.
