More than 200 members of the Ontario Produce Marketing Association (OPMA) got together November 21 in Niagara Falls to celebrate the theme  — “Harvesting Tomorrow” — with special touches including floral arrangements featuring Snowflake apples from Algoma Orchards, great food including delicious mushrooms from Windmill Farms and Smuccie Strawberries from Mucci Farms gracing the dessert table.

 

Recipients were honoured in a special pre-dinner ceremony, as guests, family, friends and colleagues looked on.
