What We Grow

Featured Produce

A selection of the varieties our community loves most — grown from open-pollinated seed, harvested by hand, and packed with flavour.

Best Seller

Heirloom Tomatoes

Summer

Vine-ripened heirloom varieties in a spectrum of colours — rich in lycopene, intensely flavourful, and grown without synthetic pesticides on open Alberta fields.

Superfood

Organic Kale

Spring & Fall

Cold-hardy, nutrient-dense kale harvested from frost-kissed fields. Our kale is sweeter after the first frost — a hallmark of naturally grown, unhurried produce.

Fall Harvest

Root Vegetables

Fall

Carrots, beets, turnips, and parsnips grown deep in Alberta's fertile soil. Earthy, sweet, and mineral-rich — ideal for roasting, soups, and winter storage.

Prolific Grower

Summer Squash

Summer

Zucchini, pattypan, and yellow squash from our open-pollinated seed stock. Harvested young and tender for maximum flavour, or allowed to mature for winter storage.

Staple Crop

Heritage Potatoes

Fall

Fingerling, purple, and Yukon Gold heritage potatoes raised without synthetic inputs. Grown from seed potatoes selected for flavour, yield, and soil compatibility.

Year-Round

Fresh Herbs

Year-Round

Regenerative Farming
How We Grow

Regenerative Practices

Every vegetable we grow is the product of farming practices designed to leave the land healthier than we found it. We do not just grow food — we rebuild soil, conserve water, and restore biodiversity with every season.

Composting & Soil Health

All plant waste is composted back into the soil. We regularly test soil health and amend with organic matter to build long-term fertility without synthetic fertilisers.

Water Conservation

Drip irrigation and rainwater collection reduce water use by up to 60% compared to conventional overhead irrigation, preserving Alberta's freshwater resources.

Integrated Pest Management

We use companion planting, beneficial insects, and physical barriers to manage pests naturally — no synthetic pesticides, ever.

Cover Cropping

Off-season fields are planted with nitrogen-fixing cover crops that prevent erosion, suppress weeds, and feed soil biology through winter and early spring.
