Our Veggies

Our focus is on heirloom and open-pollinated varieties and local seed sources. We never use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides in our growing practices. Our goal is to provide a diverse mix of seasonal vegetables from week-to-week, including many familiar vegetables and some less familiar, specialty varieties.

Below is a library of the vegetables we grow. Some variation from this is guaranteed due to seed availability, growing conditions, farmer interest and customer demand. Take a look:

Carrot: Scarlet Nantes

Carrot: Scarlet Nantes (Dauscus carota)

This heirloom variety has been grown and adapted to North American conditions for at least 50 years. It has strong tops and delicious flavour.

This Nantes type carrot (blunt tips and blunt shoulders) is especially adapted to the Coastal BC climate.

Carrots: Cosmic Purple

A purple skinned carrot with orange/yellow flesh. A good one for getting kids into carrots (apparently!)

Cauliflower: Snow Crown

Cauliflower: Snow Crown (Brassica oleracea var. Botrytis)

This mild yet sweet cauliflower holds its flavour well into the season, and can develop a pink tinge in the heat of the summer.

Collard Greens: Champion

Collard Greens: Champion (Brassica oleracea var. acephala)

Collards, also in the cabbage family, produce fleshy leaves as opposed to heads. Great texture and flavour can be enjoyed steamed, boiled, or stir-fried.

Collard Greens: Vates (Brassica oleracea var. viridis)

A smaller, uniformly shaped variety.
