Who we are:
Saanich Organics is a community of farmers from small, certified organic farms who work together to supply fresh local produce and top-quality organic seeds to Greater Victoria BC. Heather Stretch of Northbrook Farm, Robin Tunnicliffe of Sea Bluff Farm, and Rachel Fisher of Three Oaks Farm have co-owned the business since 2002, and we work with several other farmers in and around greater Victoria.
What we do:
We co-operate and support each other in many ways, and through Saanich Organics we get as much fresh, delicious, healthy, local, certified organic produce as we can on to tables in and around Victoria. We sell at the Moss Street Market, James Bay Market, Esquimalt Farmers Market and Metchosin Farms Market. We run a residential box delivery program, and our commercial division that serves restaurants and grocery stores. Our seed company,Seeds of the Revolution, serves our local area through Seedy Saturdays and various retail outlets, and all of Canada via our online seed store.
Why we do it:
We are passionate about the importance of good farming. We are creating a viable alternative to industrial agriculture. Our farms support biodiversity and practice soil conservation, humane living conditions of farm animals and high labour standards.
We find deep satisfaction in working hard in our small corner of the food system to do things better. We strive to sustain our agricultural land, our community, our families, and ourselves by growing and marketing top quality organic fruits and vegetables for families in and around Victoria.
