In 1992 Edie began a quest! She became an Emu Rancher. It began as a part time hobby and within 5 years became a full time farming/ranching operation. Unfortunately the market plummeted. No one had done any real market research or development. Not only within the Emu group but all "Alternative" livestock groups were sitting waiting for someone else to develop markets. She had to make achoice. She could dig a hole and bury the birds she had (like so many others were doing) or stick it out . . . persevere. She chose the latter! Smart? She says, "Probably not, but it was the decision I made and vowed to live by". That decision has led to a multittude of things ranging from complete and utter frustration to total and consuming job. Seeing projects in the making and watching markets expand. She is now one of the largest Emu Production Facilites in Canada and has complete quality control and consistency in all of her products.
COMMITTED TO THE EMU INDUSTRY TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE!
During the past six years Edie has been extremely involved in several aspects of the Alternative livestock Value Added Chain. She has taken several courses on marketing, Pricing, Managment, Food Handling, Food handling Regulations Product Formulation, HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) Implementation, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Environmental Regulations and Applications.She is well informed and knowledgeable when it comes to running a business with people, not money in mind.
Edie has worked with consultants from the Saskatchewan POS Plant in Saskatoon, Regal Research Labs in Delta, BC and the NRC at the Red Deer College and the University of Alberta to develop the method and process best suited for rendering/refining Ratite fats/oils while maintaining all of the natural qualities of the finished product.
Edie has done extensive studies on the qualities of natural oils and the controversial issue of good fats vs. bad fats. She has developed a few of her own neutriceuticals, three of which are now on the market. She intends to continue her research and will bring on many more new proudcts in the coming years. Always involved she is constantly checking for new ingredients to use in her products to enhance the natural and safe skin care line of products she manufactures.
