We’ve spent the last week at Crystal Spring colony in Manitoba, where their world-famous* wet/dry hog feeders are manufactured.

The colony is beautiful in the summer – even the driveway leading into the colony is picturesque this time of year.

Quarterly meetings and the usual product development and business discussions were preceded by a few days spent with a tremendous video production team, complete with a camera on a helicopter. The kiddos were enthralled.

The story of Crystal Spring Hog Equipment – the values and history of innovation that drive the company into the future – is fascinating. It was fun to be involved in phase one of a video telling that story, and I’m excited for the rest of the project.

*Okay, world-famous may be subjective. But we think they’re pretty great.
