Flory Sanderson is the owner of Island Hill Farm in Hampshire, P.E.I.'s largest goat farm. - SaltWire Network File PhotoFiona took down powerlines, changed landscapes and caused infrastructure damage that still isn’t repaired. For some P.E.I. businesses, that means changing fall operation plans.
“We’re still in cleanup mode, but we’ll survive. Not as bad as everyone else, but bad enough for me," she said in a Sept. 28 SaltWire interview.Island Hill farm has more than 150 goats, making it the largest working goat farm in P.E.I., Sanderson said. The rest of the herd were fine, though, and the storm didn’t damage any fencing or walls that would allow them to escape, she said.
“I lost my whole freezer of meat and our ice cream. … I’m a commercial dairy as well, so my milk is sold to Brexton, New Brunswick. And then can make cheese out of it. So, that won’t be up in production until the new year.”While the damage was a lot for Sanderson to handle, it wasn’t so much that it shut things down entirely. When Sanderson spoke to SaltWire on Sept. 28, she was planning to open in a limited capacity.Other operators have chosen — or been forced — to call it a season.
“Now is not the time to visit Prince Edward Island National Park,” the Parks Canada webpage for P.E.I. read on Oct. 3. “Parks Canada thanks residents and visitors for their continued compliance with park closures. The agency is working hard to recover from the impacts of hurricane Fiona and will welcome visitors back when it is safe to do so.”Cavendish section of P.E.I.
