Beausjour Peat Moss Inc.
Grand-Barachois, NB
Company Overview
Beausejour Peat Moss Inc. harvests high quality peat moss for the domestic and international markets. Peat moss contributes porosity, structure and moisture retention capacity to any grow- ing medium. The long, clean fibers of Beausejour Peat contri- bute to greater retention of structure within the material. This results in the material not breaking down as is the case of peat moss with a finer structure. Beausejour Peat Moss produced over 200, 000 bales of peat in only it's third year of production. This is one sixth of eventual production levels. Reserves of peat moss are pro- jected for well over one hundred years. Mr. Paul-Emile Leger, founder and sole owner of Beausejour Peat Moss Inc., sees the long-term objective of his company as the production of a quality growing medium, in an environmentally sound manner, while creating a long-term family business. For his efforts in establishing this company, Mr. Leger recently received an award as business man of the year.
Beausejour Organic Products Inc. (1994) will produce compost in 1995 from peat moss and organic waste materials. Farm waste, food waste, fish processing waste and other organic bulking agents will form the compost feed stock. For the 1995 season this product will be available in bulk only. Future plans call for distribution of the product in consumer-ready bags. The objective of this second company in the 'Beausejour Group' is to provide nutrient rich soil amendments produced under rigid quality controls. An organic waste disposal service will provide the feed stock for the composting process. The combination of these two companies has created an environ- mentally sound use of peat moss which is a valuable natural resource. The compost based soil amendments will contain no more than twenty percent (20%) peat moss. This combination has the potential to extend peat reserves for generations, if not indefinitely.
