Ep 112 Politically Incorrect with Elwood Quinn
Show Notes

Every once in a while we meet someone who is unabashedly direct. Straightforward.  Sometimes even to the point of becoming – dare we say it – politically incorrect.  Not in a mean way, and completely without malicious intent; it’s just that they don’t pull their punches, and they tell you what they think.    It can be refreshing sometimes, can it not? 

You can have some really substantive conversations with people who are willing to be plain spoken, and some even better ones with people who are also passionate, hardworking, and believe in a really good cause.  In this case, we’re referring to Elwood Quinn of La Ferme Quinn, just outside of the city of Montreal, Canada.  We had a chance to speak with him in 2016 at a Livestock Conservancy conference, where he was representing Rare Breeds Canada.

Elwood is retired now from Farming and his Director duties, but we have no doubt that he’s still as hardworking and feisty as ever.  We’re looking forward to having our border with our neighbors to the North open soon, so we can go see how he’s doing, and get an in-person update on life on a Canadian farm.  Maybe we’ll pick fresh strawberries and asparagus while we’re there at La Ferme Quinn.  We’ll be very direct on that request, to be sure, eh?.
