Karen Tindall from Tindall Farms joined Dan Pollard for Tractor talk to discuss her experience at the Ontario Food Terminal. “…I go every Thursday morning at 4:00 a.m. and then what I do is I swap up! With all my local, other colleagues, my fellow Farm friends that (…) grow here in Ontario, we swap up.
