Margate Farms Ltd. of Kensington was named the 2011-2012 McCain Champion Potato Grower for P.E.I. during the annual McCain Growers’ Banquet.

Allison McCain, chairman of McCain Foods Limited, and Darryl Rowe, president of McCain Foods (Canada), were on hand to extend personal congratulations to Steven and Harry Van der Veen and all of the McCain growers.

Harry van der Veen said it’s quite an achievement to be in the Top 10, but noted that it takes more than hard work and dedication to get there. Sometimes it takes a little luck, as well, he said.
