From An Advertiser...
We are very happy with the exposure that we have received from Orchard and Vine for the last couple of years and we would like to increase our exposure to 5 ads, now including the Pre-Spring issue.
Thanks and we will look forward to working with you again in 2012.
From BC Tree Fruits...
Just wanted to extend a huge thank you on behalf of BC Tree Fruits for the feature on our 75th anniversary you did for the fall magazine. It is a huge feat for the brand and we really appreciate the look back and ahead for BCTF and sharing that history with your readers.
Lisa – we are celebrating apple month in February 2012 we'd love to share with you some apple recipes, tips, or apple facts that might be a timely feature for your winter/Feb issue. Thanks so much again!

Your Innovation Issue Inspires...
I just read from 'cover-to-cover' your most recent Orchard & Vine, Issue #52, the Innovation Issue. I wish to compliment you, and your writing team on producing a very intriguing and fascinating edition. It was amazing to see some of 'new agricultures' approach in pushing the innovation envelope. Exploring these amazing visionaries and their concrete results, along with what the future of BC agriculture can potentially be was heartening, compared to the litany of stresses farmers encounter with fickle markets, weather changes, and plain bad ag-policies.
It has been said that 'success in farming is moving from failure-to-failure without loss of enthusiasm.' The profiled innovators in your O&V Edition certainly put this sentiment to shame. Please produce more stories on these impressive ecological and food security 'change agents' Their brilliance as growers, inventors, and cutting edge botanists in pursuing their convictions with such impressive results deserves our support as BC consumers.

Thank you very much for the first issue delivered to me…. I am mainly concerned with the grapes and vineyard articles …I have really enjoyed all the articles and have read the magazine from cover to cover... including all the advertising! Very interesting and informative.
Looking forward to the next issue!
Thanks again,

Just a note to say how pleased I was to receive my first issue of Orchard and Vine…I don't know if I've ever appreciated the ads in a magazine more…The three ads that most caught my attention were ReddenNet, the narrow Italian tractors and the pruning equipment supplier. This is all very important information for us.
Looking forward to the next issue.
