As Gardeners and seed savers…
All our produce is grown using bio-dynamic, organic methods. All varieties that we grow are non-hybrid, or open-pollinated, meaning the pollination duties have been left to nature, allowing the plants to produce seeds naturally.

Why non-hybrid?
Hybrid varieties have been genetically altered, often incorporating genes from the animal kingdom, such as pig or fish and other unnatural substances such as vaccines or biocides. This is done to create a uniform appearance and for shipping ease rather than for nutrition, flavor or texture.

Heirloom (known for at least 50 years) and Heritage (known for at least 300 years) have always been grown as open-pollinated crops. These varieties provide us with a larger gene-pool to combat disease and growing conditions than those that are available to us commercially. Every single one has a particular history, DNA sequence, and set of nutrients. For example, tomatoes come in a variety of shapes and sizes in red, pink, yellow, orange, black, green, white or purple. However, only a few types are grown commercially, while the others are slowly being forgotten and lost over time.

We are members of Seeds of Diversity Canada, and as such, save seeds for the organization in an effort to save varieties from extinction.
