• After high school, Leo decided to leave the dairy industry – where he had experienced a lot of growth and first-hand education – to live in the Netherlands for a year. He worked for a potato grower, getting in touch with his family roots.
• While Leo was in the Netherlands, Quik’s Farm was adapting to industry changes. Harry offered his son a job at the farm, and Leo returned just in time to enjoy the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010. Today he is the sales manager for Quik’s Farm.
• Harry’s youngest son, Corné joined the team 3 years ago. He manages an outdoor field location 15 minutes from the original farm where the family grows seasonal flowers.
• This team takes pride in the quality and freshness of their flowers while striving to create environmentally sustainable products.
• They are also proud that they employ as many local people as they do. The Quik’s work with the Dutch community in Chilliwack to fund a private school, a church, and other charitable organizations in China and South Africa. Making an impact is important to them.
