What We Do

The "Seed-to-Jar" Promise

"Honest food starts with the seed. We manage every step of the journey, cultivating local produce from heritage seeds and hand-crafting sourdough and preserves right here on the homestead. Our mission is simple: to provide our community with 100% natural, chemical-free food while protecting the wild land that makes it all possible."

About Us

We believe that the best food doesn't come from a lab or a long-distance truck—it comes from a seed with a story. Our journey starts in the soil, using "grandfathered" seeds saved and passed down through generations of harvests. Because we grow our own seedlings, we know exactly what goes into our food (and more importantly, what doesn’t).

Our homestead is a pesticide-free and preservative-free zone. Whether it’s the crisp snap of a fresh-picked heirloom vegetable, the tangy crunch of our small-batch pickles, or the comforting crumb of our slow-fermented sourdough, you are tasting food in its purest form.

But our mission goes beyond the dinner table. We are stewards of this land, practicing mindful cultivation that supports our local wildlife and preserves the natural beauty of our community. When you choose our produce and preserves, you aren't just feeding your family; you're supporting a local ecosystem where nature and heritage thrive together.

Our Thanks!

We are very thankful for all the support this year at the Hortan Farmers Market!

The year is officially over for seedlings and produce, however we are always stocked with home made preserves and sourdough!

Inquires can be made through email and our Facebook Page.

Pickup is located in St Thomas or London

Orders for sourdough bread are made a week in advance before pick up.

Thank you!
