A Word From John:
What I’m up to these days
I’m working as one of five Managing Principals of Ag Capital Canada (ACC), a private equity fund which invests in Canadian agricultural enterprises. ACC offers capital and management support for companies with great leadership teams and exceptional growth potential.
The latest news is that, after launching Ag Capital Canada Fund I a few years ago, we are now developing ACC Fund II.
One of the enterprises that ACC has invested in is Dairy Distillery of Almonte, Ontario. I chair the Board of Directors for this company. Dairy Distillery is in the unique, exciting business of distilling by-products from dairy processing plants to make two products: spirits (including some great cream liquors) and low-carbon-release ethanol.
Additionally, through a new company I formed a few years ago called JDP Canada Inc., I am doing some writing and engaging in ag-market investment analysis.
Most importantly, on a personal level, I am enjoying many outdoor activities and time with my family and friends.
