"A Business of Her Own” (Pickles) February 26, 2009

SPEAKER: Andrea Gray-Grant of Tarragon Foods

TOPIC: "A Business of Her Own" (Pickles)
Andrea was recently featured in the Province Newspaper. She was employed in the food industry when she decided to leave her job to start a business of her own. She began her pickling and canning business from 100 year old Nova Scotia recipes handed down from her grandmother and mother. Her mother passed away suddenly in 2005 so to honour and remember her, she and her sister started pickling "anything and everything". Hear how her business has grown, what advice from an associate has helped her tremendously and how she would like to do canning for other people and expand her product line.
