Nightingale Farms - LaSalette

Nightingale Farms Limited is currently in the 3rd generation of growth. The company was founded in 1950 by Frank J. Nightingale, with only two commodities; strawberries and tomatoes. What once was a small family farm has grown to a vast 1500 acres of Field, Greenhouse and High Tunnel conventional and organic operation, which is currently owned and operated by Bill Nightingale Sr, and Bill Nightingale Jr. The Farm currently produces many conventional and organic items, both in bulk and many value added packaging options. The organic label “Norfolk Organic” was enrolled in 2003 and is growing consistently. At Nightingale Farms LTD our team focuses on being leaders in Quality Produce, Innovation, and meeting customers’ demands. We are consistently adapting and leading customer trends, such as Organics and Organic Speciality items that we provide to our Wholesale customers. Our products can be found at all major chains, independence, and many small farmer’s markets. ×

McFarlan Rowlands - Norwich

McFarlan Rowlands Insurance Brokers is able to trace its roots back to 1896. Over the years, growth of our organization through acquisitions of local brokerages has given us a strong community identity. To service our broad client base, we maintain 14 offices across Southwestern Ontario. McFarlan Rowlands did not become one of the largest independent insurance brokerages in Canada by accident. We insist upon complete independence from the insurance companies we represent so that we can provide our clients with the best coverage at the most competitive prices. When necessary, we are able to leverage our size and years of experience to offer our clients features, prices, and benefits that are unavailable to other brokerages. In addition to our broad product portfolio, the team at McFarlan Rowlands excels at providing complete customer satisfaction. More than half of our clients have been referred to us by existing clients and that number continues to grow. Our corporate guidelines of client satisfaction, employee education and industry presence have proven themselves time and time again. Second only to our client referrals we pride ourselves in attracting and retaining the best employees in the business. Part of our ongoing commitment to our clients is ensuring that our staff is always on the leading edge of changes in the industry. Through prominent membership in national and provincial councils and through direct contact with Members of Parliament, McFarlan Rowlands has lobbied for industry and legislative changes that benefit our growing client base. ×
