Episode 10: Simply the Perks

Co-Hosts Bree Patterson (VBP+ Coordinator from British Columbia) and Amy Higgins (VBP+ Coordinator in the Maritimes) have a chat to talk about the various perks of having a VBP+ certified operation! Some news coming from FCC. This one was a little late arriving, but better late than never! 

VBP+ is an approved certification body for the Canadian Roundtable for Canadian Beef (CRSB). Beef operations that are certified by VBP+ are also recognized as meeting the CRSB Sustainable Beef Production Standard and are eligible to participate in certified sustainable sourcing programs.
