Newfoundland Mussels Soon To Receive Organic Label

Laura Halfyard, who manages two fish farms on the island, said it was a lot of hard work to get the certification for the province.

She said they are the first mussels in North America to receive the label.

"You've got to be able to document everything you do, through every stage of your farm process and how you harvest and then, eventually, process [the mussels]," Halfyard said.
