Year round production
In a province that sees 60º temperature swings throughout the year, we no longer have to rely on Mother Nature and our short growing season.
By utilizing hydroponics we are able to grow in our state-of-the-art greenhouse facility year round – maximizing flavour and freshness – while producing nutrient dense, delicious produce.
Improving local food security
We are proud to be a part of the Saskatchewan local food economy, connecting more folks with locally grown goodness. Because knowing how and where your food was grown, makes it taste so much better!
