Springwillow Farm





Raymond Loo runs Springwillow Farm in Springfield area of Prince Edward Island. Raymond is excellent farmer who is very passionate about the future of PEI, organics and his impact on the world. His father immigrated from the Netherlands in 1951 and bought the farm in 1952. The family has pioneered many different varieities of potatoes, including Island Sunshine, a bright yellow fleshed potato, with a high resistance to late blight. In addition to excellent potatoes, Raymond grows organic crops, raises beef and many other projects. He is currently growing dandelion root for the Japanese market and possibly offering the first organic Canola oil from the Maritimes. We at Dayboat Restaurant (http://www.dayboat.ca/) are looking forward to a long and happy partnership with Raymond
