Emma Rozeveld and her husband, Shane Rozeveld, have been organic farmers in Lambton County since 2021 but not being from the community can feel like a hurdle while spreading word about Aslan Organics, she said.

It made winning the Sarnia-Lambton Chamber of Commerce agri-business of the year award Friday that much sweeter.

They grow about 30 different vegetables on their farm at 3107 Michigan Line and sell the produce onsite in a “little shed” store, Saturday to Wednesday, as well as the Sarnia Farmers’ Market Wednesday and Saturday, and a few local retailers. There’s also an online store at aslanorganics.ca .
