Good Earth Farm Seeds

The Origin

One day in late 1999, Heather and Simon were introduced by a mutual friend.

Coming from different backgrounds and provinces of Canada, they shared a common love of growing food and saving seeds. A connection that soon sprouted and took root.

After spending 4 growing seasons at two shared garden plots, they finally purchased a farm to call home in December 2003. The seeds they grew and saved each year came along with them and are still being grown today,  25 years later.

Our Farm

Is located on the Unceded Traditional Territory of the K’ómoks First Nation, the traditional keepers of this land.  The farm has a gentle north east facing slope, sandy loam soil and the purest water source from an underground aquifer.

While we have always grown using natural methods, in 2019 we started the process of becoming Certified Organic, and received full Certification under PACS (Pacific Agricultural Certification  Society) in 2021.

Soil, Seeds, Sustainability

Guided by our values and shared passions for seed sovereignty, food security, reconciliation and land back, we strive to be good stewards of the earth, water and air on our small 4.5 acre plot, in our greater community and beyond. Over the years we have put our beliefs into practice and have watched as the soil has come alive, supporting our seeds to grow into thriving plants and complete their life cycle back to strong resilient seeds. Despite a changing climate and the challenges this poses, our growing methods have helped all living organisms on the farm to thrive, from the microscopic life to the bugs, insects, birds, amphibians and all manner of  small mammals. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.
