Eddie Rendell, owner and operator of Rendell's Farm in Mill Creek, along Point Aconi Road, also suffered some siding damage to one of his buildings: "I’d have sit down and figure out what those losses were compared to last year." IAN NATHANSON/CAPE BRETON POSTMILL CREEK, N.S. — Evidence of post-tropical storm Fiona’s impact lay right at the front entrance of Rendell’s Farm along Point Aconi Road.
“The power outage was a bugger,” he said. “Our coolers were out. And there were two or three days where guys I had working here couldn’t come in – they had things to do at home, and I understand that.AMANDA MCDOUGALL: Cape Breton mayor reflects on Fiona “Our corn maze definitely has damage,” the market posted on its Facebook site. “Our smaller maze is more of a corn walking trail, but our larger maze still has lots of parts intact and has a more maze feel .”
Niesten said the farm market lasted five days without electricity but had backup generators operating at full capacity.Because of the storm’s impact, the market had to close for several days. One of the two corn mazes set up at Hank's Farm Market in Millville bore the brunt of post-tropical storm Fiona, suffering major damage. A second corn maze fared better. But both mazes are still open to the public, said market co-owner Conrad Niesten.
During a post-cabinet media conference on Sept. 29, five days after the storm, Morrow told reporters he had been in discussions with the federal agriculture department and other Atlantic Canadian ministers to narrow down what could be done to help with farmers’ losses."I've been very clear with the department: leave no stone unturned and make it happen quickly.”
