What Sets Us Apart
-
By supporting our small scale farm, you are receiving herbs that are grown in Ontario, by a local grower’s hands, with a freshness that is only accessible through purchasing farm direct herbs sold during the most recent growing season.
-
Our farm is managed as a part of the ecosystem rather than trying to fabricate growing space outside of the natural world. This means using chemical free, biology-based ammendments, growing in harmony with microbes, fungi, insects, animals, and the flow of the nature.
-
Our farm, high in the hills of the Niagara Escarpment, boasts some of the richest, beautifully structured soil around. In all of our farming practices, we prioritize soil ecology in order to maintain and nourish this precious resource for generations to come. This in turn means our herbs are not only grown in soil that is free of herbicide and heavy metal contamination (our soil and water is tested annually), but positively buzzing with beneficial soil life.
-
We are very serious about the post-harvest procesing of our herbs. Drying our herbs in complete darkness and without added heat helps us maintain the high vibrancy, constituent-rich freshness that most bulk herb suppliers can’t repliate.
-
Harvesting and processing all herbs by hand means more labour, but ensure a close attention to detail from a practicing herbal clinician, ensuring vibrancy, minimal stem content (unlike mass imported herbs), and a high level of quality control

Good agricultural and manufacturing practices (GaMPs/GMPs) are a top priority for us as a farm producing specialty herbs. Every step of the process from seed to the final form being in your hands is documented to ensure consistency, quality, and traceability.

How We Calculate Our Herb Prices
If you’re familiar with the typical cost of imported bulk herbs, you may notice our prices are higher. There are a few reasons why:
Locally grown herbs mean premium quality and ultimate freshness. We invest hundreds of hours of care to seed, plant, tend, harvest, and process all of the herbs we grow to the highest standard.
We also invest in high quality certified organic seeds, diverse fertility and biodiversity management strategies, and specialty equipment that empowers us to offer the superb quality herbs we do.
We have set our prices for each herb according to the labour and resource investment required from us for each species, in a way that means we are fairly compensated for our work.
This allows us to offer farm direct herbs to you long term, in an equitable and sustainable way!
