Our Story

Why We Grow This Way

Cannabis is a plant. We think it should be grown like one — in soil, under the sun, with clean inputs and real seasons.

When we built this farm, we made a few early decisions that shaped everything after. We'd grow in living soil because we think the biology in the bed — the fungi, the bacteria, the nutrient cycling — contributes to the flavour of the finished plant. We'd grow outdoors on Salt Spring Island because the coastal climate, ocean air, and natural light cycles let the plant develop on its own schedule. And we'd build a farm where the soil gets better every year, not thrown out after each harvest.

That last part is what keeps us here. Our living soil beds have been built and rebuilt over eight growing seasons. Each cycle adds complexity. It's a principle winemakers understand about their land — the longer you work with the same soil, the more it gives back.

It also means less waste. Soil beds get reused. Rainwater from on-site retention ponds replaces municipal supply. Growing under the sun takes a fraction of the energy of indoor production. Those aren't the reason we farm this way, but they're part of why we're proud of it.

We're FVOPA Certified Organic at the farm level — every input and process audited annually by a third-party certifier.

This is our version of what good cannabis looks like. Grown slowly, in living soil, on an island farm that gets a little better at it every year.
