How We Grow

Our soil is a rich mixture of peat moss, loam, worm castings, and kelp. This allows the vegetable to grow in an environment rich in nitrogen and minerals vital to supporting healthy plant life.

We do not use any animal based waste products for fertilizers due to disease and other environmental concerns. We grow our vegetables to their natural maturity. We pick our vegetables as they ripen naturally. We have found through research that the highest potential phytonutrient and vitamin content is vine ripening in the correct combination of acid/alkaline soil.

By maintaining the correct micronutrient balance through continued testing, and feeding the plant foliage through the growing season, we supply organic produce with nutrition.

Acting as a shield from the weather we've got tunnels over our fields so we are able to grow more plants that can't handle a lot of rain or sun.

Ready to transplant everything that's been growing in cells in the greenhouse!

Our 10,000 square foot greenhouse is made of 1/4" thick curved panels of tempered glass and is 32' high in the centre. There is a 3' ventilator in each wall panel and a 6' ventilator on each side of the roof peak for cooling. This gives the greenhouse a bow like shape that is good for a couple of reasons.

The shape creates a magnifying effect that increases overall light levels. As well, it allows more room for bad air to escape. The ventilators on the walls catch the northwest breeze and push the air in the greenhouse through the peak ventilators. When the ventilators are closed, 16' fans circulate the air ensuring air movement and even temperatures. The result is that no bad air exists at crop level and a streamlined greenhouse offers less structural stress.

In conclusion, our signature growing techniques and unique greenhouse design work together to make for a pretty perfect environment. No plants experience stress and a happy plant is a productive plant.
