The Perry family has a history of stewardship that spans four generations of farming in southern Alberta. Today, the Farm is a diverse operation comprising 5000 acres of irrigated land producing quality potatoes, seed canola, and cereals. The most significant carbon-aware investment the Farm made was to build, own and operate an organic waste-to-energy biogas facility commissioned in 2014: Grow the Energy Circle Ltd (GrowTEC).
