CORE VALUES
QUALITY
Our growing standards far exceed certified organic growing practices. We are not just growers but rather environmental permaculture stewards of a beautiful and sacred land that we are blessed to call home.
HERITAGE
We cherish the lessons of our heritage and encourage our customers to step back in time with us as we honour our families by growing and sharing their lessons with our community.
COMMUNITY
Growing to the capacity of our land while also growing what is most suitable to the conditions, enables us to have a plethora of delicious produce that we are proud to make available for our neighbours to buy.
Due to the corvid-19 pandemic, we are isolating ourselves by not attending markets nor hosting any events until further notice.
Our farm gate will remain open as long as we stay healthy.
Eat well, stay well, we are all in this together.
