Florenceville
Riverview Farms, owned by Shawn Paget, is a thriving third-generation farm that Shawn purchased from his in-laws. Spanning 2,800 acres, the farm is dedicated to growing pioneer seed potatoes, as well as corn, winter wheat, oats and soybeans. Of the total acreage, 800 to 1,000 acres consist of woodlot and wetlands, reflecting Shawn’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
Shawn’s interest in the Living Lab initiative stems from his desire to discover farming adaptations that both improve the environment and remain cost effective. He plans to purchase a grain terminal in the near future, demonstrating his forward-thinking approach to farming. As a local resource and mentor for regenerative agricultural practices, Shawn actively contributes to the community. He is a member of the Potatoes NB team and the Green Commission Council with McCain Foods, continuously working to advance sustainable farming methods.
