The Rural Voice, 1998-12, Page 5Family business
When people talk about adding value to farm
products the Vines family of Listowel can speak
from experience. Eldon and Ruth Vines have
been growing, processing and retailing turkeys
since the 1980s.
They'Ve learned
the money isn't in
growing the birds
and they've been
scaling back their
flock. But they
still produce the
turkeys that will
be the centre-
piece of this
Christmas for
many people in
their area.
