We farm in backyard gardens right in the city of Nelson.

Our market produce comes fresh from our walk-in cooler in Fairview, no more than 2 miles from the market. You can't get much more local than that!

We harvest in cool conditions and handle the produce with care to ensure the longest shelf-life. When it comes to freshness, the average supermarket poses no competition.

We truck everything by electric bike to help shrink our carbon footprint.

Our produce never travels more than a few miles to reach its point of consumption. Compare this to a typical supermarket meal, which travels an average of 1,500 miles from farm to plate.

We don't use high-emissions tractors for cultivation or high-energy heated greenhouses to grow unseasonal crops.

While we do use a walk-behind rototiller on occasion, we prefer hand cultivation whenever possible.

We use absolutely no chemical inputs or GMOs. All of our soil amendments are naturally derived and approved for organic use.

We believe that healthy soil grows healthy plants, and that only organic farming practices make healthy soil.

Rather than fight natural processes by applying harmful chemicals to inhibit them, we try to mimic patterns found in nature that improve soil health.

While we are not certified organic, this year we are applying for the Kootenay Mountain Grown label.
