Hedge Hog Concept

My hedgehog concept would be basketball. I am fairly good at ball
and can keep up with some elite players.
I tried out for team BC and was one of the last cuts made couple years back.

I think Chilliwacks hedge hog concept is their farming and agriculture fields.
Many berry fields as well as corn and other fruits and vegetable farms.

A hedgehog concept is an understanding of what your the best at
and what you can be the most successful at doing.
