“Farmer owned and operated, our mission is to fill the bellies of Ontarians with nutritious and delicious
greens. Our founder, Ian Adamson, is Toronto born and raised between the Yukon and Ontario. He’s
spent his life with plants. In the 15+ years he has been growing salad greens, and he has figured out a
few things. First, local is best. Plants get their nutrients from the soil, and nutrient density declines with age. From the time of harvest, the sooner you eat your veggies, the healthier they are. Next,
organic is a must. You can eat what Mother Earth intended for you without chemicals or toxins. Growing
vegetables without chemicals is healthier for the person eating them, safer for the grower and more
sustainable for the soil. Last, soil quality matters. What you feed a plant is what it’s feeding you. Using
live soil enriched with natural organic matter like seaweed allows for the healthiest and happiest plants-
and happy plants taste better. Our greenhouse is a three-and-a-half-acre world class facility. Being able
to precisely control the growing environment allows us to produce at full capacity, 365 days a year.
We’re also certified organic and committed to keeping our environmental footprint as small as possible.
The greenhouse is run on solar and biomass energy, we have a water reuse program and use natural
solutions to controlling pests, among other environmentally conscious efforts. We grow Ontario Super
Crunch, Ontario Arugula, Ontario Spring Mix, Ontario Romaine, as well as Broccoli greens and Pea
shoots. We also have been experimenting with radish and carrots. We’re committed to organic farming
and continue to explore new and innovative ways to make healthy food accessible to our local
communities. Thank you for letting us help you feed your family. You can find our fresh greens at all
Metro, Fortinos, Sobeys, Farm Boy, Goodness Me and the Healthy Planet among others. Our community
of partnerships is growing, check back for an updated list of stores.”
