Lori Robinson
Farm Manager | Eric C Robinson Inc.
Lori Robinson grew up on her family’s potato farm in Albany. Growing up she never pictured herself as being the one in her family to take over her family’s farming operation; but now 25 years later, Lori is proudly the 6th generation of Eric C Robinson Inc. and she couldn’t imagine herself doing anything else.
When Lori began her journey in agriculture there were very few female farmers, especially in rural PEI. But Lori never saw being a female building a business in a male dominated industry as a barrier. Over the past decades she has and continues to pave the path for young women becoming involved in agriculture. Even though she spends the majority of her time at the farm, she enjoys travelling the world and coaching her nephew’s curling team during the winter months. Farming is in Lori’s blood and despite the challenges she wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.
