Quality Food Grown Sustainably
A little bit about us
Located in Kingston Ontario, our farm specializes in the cultivation and sale of high quality produce. We grow garlic and apples on more than 3 acres of farmland. Our crops are grown naturally, without the use of any pesticides, chemical fertilizers or herbicides. We also practice strict crop rotation and constantly replenish the land through the use of farm generated compost and animal manure. We are proud to offer our customers all natural food that tastes great and is grown in a sustainable way that respects the soil and its health
We also believe that patronizing farms in our bioregion helps to support the local economy by keeping dollars circulating locally. It also strengthens the community as a result, making it much more economically vibrant, resilient and self-sufficient
We also believe in bridging the gap between farmers and consumers by encouraging people to visit local farms like ours. This allows the consumer to see how the food they eat is grown which assists in developing food transparency and trust. They also have peace of mind knowing that the farmer is using sustainable methods of agriculture that optimize the health and nutrition of the food they eat.
To Summarize, our foods are grown in accordance with very strict standards which include:
- NO pesticide use
- NO chemical Fertilizers
- NO herbicides
- NO Genetically Modified Organisms
