          We aim to supply food that is fresh, ripe, clean,
          safe and nourishing.
          Our produce is herbicide and pesticide
          free and from quality seed

          We grow a large variety of vegetables in our garden and greenhouses and enjoy exploring new varieties to offer our customers.  We try to focus on heirloom varieties as often as we can to help preserve seed for future generations.

          We are are Certified Naturally Grown as we think that organic has lost some of its credibility due, in part, to imported fruit and vegetables from mega farms in California and China, however, we felt it important that our customers feel secure in what we produce.

          What is Certified Naturally Grown?  Certified Naturally Grown www.naturallygrown.org (CNG) offers an alternative to the Certified Organic label.  Our program is based on the same organic practices, but CNG is different in several ways.

          Internationally recognized:  CNG is one of the four models of "Participatory Guarantee System" (PGS) certification supported by the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM) and encouraged by the United Nations FAO for tens of thousands of small farmers globally.

          We use row covers extensively, not only to help retain moisture and protect from frost but also to help repel insects and disease.  Crop rotation is also used to reduce pests and disease.

          We use our own compost and well rotted manure from our Highland cattle along with cover crops to enrich the soil.

          Our on Farm Shop is in the works and should be up and running during the summer of 2012.  Customers will then able able to buy directly from the farm during the week.  We will also have vegetables for sale on our on-line 'shop'.  Wait and watch for this golden opportunity.

          On weekends we can be found at the Bulkley Valley Farmers Market:  www.bvfarmersmarket.com
