*Our Seed Store is closed temporarily as we are sold out of our limited special seeds, but are re-opening on Dec.1, 2021.
About Us:
For over 20 years our "Organic Heirloom micro Farm" has specialized in growing to date over 300 varieties of "rare" Heirloom Tomatoes... and counting. Each year we grow 45 to 50 new, as well as rotation varieties to continue our favorite heirloom lineages.
Our Heirloom Tomato seeds are generally between 70 to over 250 years old in lineage. Each of the tomatoes shown in our album above, have taken a minimum of 3 years to properly establish and adapt to our soil. As we grow from seeds from all over the world, they can take time to adjust to our own environments. Thus, we have noticed that after 3 plantings... an Heirloom from our own seed produces a robust plant with greater yields.
* In addition to our "rare" Heirloom Tomatoes... our farm grows from seed to table each year approx. 20 kinds of Organic Heirloom Vegetables with a selection under each kind, 20 varieties of Gourmet Garlic, 18 Herbs, 11 varieties of Mints/Teas and 17 varieties of Berries (9 are wild). Our goal is to grow organic crops and share with the community healthy, nutrient dense, delicious and flavorful produce. We are a "Not for Profit" farm and we are a non-certified, organic micro farm (for bureauocractic reasons). Any monies received from sales are donations that go towards helping our farm supplies expenses.
Note: You will also find us on Facebook and our "New" Youtube Channel.
* We supply: The Greater Victoria Area. We have a minimum quota of 5 lbs for Heirloom Tomatoes and a minimum quota of 1 lb of Gourmet Garlic). Assorted Garlic Variety Packs of 10 are very popular. To place an order, you can use the menu bar above under "contact".
We add new pictures and information at the end of each season. Check out our "Menu" bar with sub-categories for more exciting pics.
