Growing organically
All our crops are certified organic by MCOG (Maritime Certified Organic Growers). This certification means that we follow the canadian standards for organic production systems. Our certification implies growing crops without the use of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or other substances. Also, our practices must be designed for the protection and enhancement of natural biodiversity and of soil life. Organic certification also involves a mandatory yearly inspection by an accredited expert.
Growing high quality fresh produce with the utmost care for the natural environment is our raison d’être. We are very proud to offer fresh local and organic products.
Season and selling points
We sell our products at the Dieppe and Bouctouche farmers’ markets from mid-June to mid-October
