In spite of numerous efforts to save the plant no buyer has come forward and closure is no inevitable. In a report for CBC News, employee Shawn Curley said even though workers knew the plant was shutting down, it was still very difficult to accept the news.

The plant is owned by National and Organic Food Group Inc., which includes a Quebec company and a few Island farmers.
