Gordon is past chairman of DFPEI, having served in that role from 2020-2026. Gordon also served on the DFC board for 2 years prior to being chairman.
As a proud dairy farmer, he strongly believes that we can only be successful individually if we are first successful as a group. We don't always have to agree, but we always have to work together.
Gordon began farming in partnership with his father in 1977, and in 1984 entered into a partnership with his brother, Malcolm. Currently, the farm is managed by his son, Chris, with input and labor from Gordon.
Operating as Goldenflo Holsteins, the farm is the recipient of 2 Holstein Canada Master Breeder Shields and milk 100 cows in a tie stall barn.
Gordon and his wife Merle have 2 sons, Chris on the farm and Colin a CPA living in Vancouver. They have 4 granddaughters on the farm and 2 grandsons in BC.
For enjoyment Gordon loves spending time with his family, milking at 5am and watching a nice crop grow. A faithful Toronto Maple Leaf every year from early fall until the playoffs start in April.
