Joey Pittoello
Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-op
Joey joined Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-operative as a chocolatier to support his organic farming habit in 2010. He is a worker-member and is currently responsible for producer relationships and management at Just Us!. Although farming has become more of a “hobby” over the years, he continues to live the organic farming dream through the small-scale coffee growers from whom Just Us! buys their coffee. His partner Sarah and two children Mia and Lewyn live near Wolfville, Nova Scotia on their small farm.
Danny Bruce
Bruce Family Farm
Danny is the sixth generation of Bruces working his farm. He went to the Nova Scotia Agricultural School after graduating from high school. He has a mixed farm with chickens, sheep, cows, old orchard and forage. He started converting to organic farming after his first child was born in 1995. Even before he knew what organic farming was, he was interested in using as little manufactured inputs as possible. Now, as his understanding of organics has changed, he is committed to the idea of growing good quality soil in order to grow healthier and better livestock and farm products.
