We grow a diverse range of herbs, vegetables and fruit. And then we create – herbal vinegars and oils, mouthwatering jams and jellies, herbal teas to comfort and heal, sauces to get your taste buds tingling. And more. We are constantly experimenting with the varieties of plants that do best in our environment, and with ways to preserve the bounty of the growing season.

Our small farm is nestled in a peaceful valley in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Far from the madding crowd we grow naturally without artificial fertilizer, herbicides, or pesticides and we use no artificial preservatives or colouring in our products. Our aim is to walk lightly on the earth, nourish the soil, and share the goodness with you.

We also offer Certified Naturally Grown seed garlic, many of them heirloom varieties, (a garden plant whose lineage can be traced for a 100 years or more), available by mail-order anywhere in Canada.

Linda and David are relatively new to country living and took a leap of faith three years ago when they moved permanently from Halifax to Merigomish. They are both avid gardeners and decided to start a small market garden on their two acre, riverside property. They particularly enjoy growing heirloom vegetables including asparagus, lettuce, basil, garlic and many varieties of tomatoes – all their produce is grown without chemical fertilizers or insecticides.

Linda, who used to be a caterer, is also a keen baker and offers a variety of handmade breads including Olive and Rosemary, Pepper Cheese and Multi Grain Yogurt along with other baked goods and sweets. She also offers an intersting selection of jams, marmalades and chutneys.
