Pink Bale Wraps Coming To Hay Fields
 ✖  |
By next summer, workers at Heartnut Grove, Inc. hope to see pink-wrapped bales dotting fields throughout Ontario and beyond. The family-owned company sells innovative agricultural and horticultural products and is offering a special deal on pink bale wrap through Aug. 31, 2017.
“We believe everyone in some way has been touched by breast cancer, and that it can be emotionally and financially overwhelming for families,” says Samantha Farquharson, sales representative for Heartnut Grove (HG). “For every pink roll sold, $3 will be donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.”
The idea - and the pink wrap - comes from Trioplast, a Swedish company that has used the wrap for breast cancer awareness in Europe, New Zealand and Australia. The idea must have caught on, Farquharson says, because New Zealand is in its third year, and she saw plenty of pink-wrapped bales on a recent trip down under.
HG introduced the fundraising campaign at the 2016 Canada Outdoor Farm Show in September and is taking orders to have the wrap available before baling begins in May.
“This is one way farmers can show support. We’re trying to get the bale wrap all over Ontario and, if we can, into the States. We’re trying to get pink everywhere,” Farquharson says.
