Next Gen Farmer – Brenna Jansen

Brenna works at her family business which is Hedgeview Farms in Pembroke.  Jansen says she worked on the farm as a teenager before going off to University.  When she finished her post secondary education, Brenna made her way to Europe where we lived until she turned 25.  She realized how much she missed the Ottawa Valley, local friends, family, and of course the farm life.  Hedgeview Farms used to be a dairy farm, but has switched to the market garden.  Jansen says Hedgeview Farms is always at the Farmers Market and also offers veggie baskets.  In addition, she has a partnership with local businesses to sell her products.  Something she says is an incredible showcase of local supporting local.
