About the Business

Our farmstead currently has a 1/4 acre market garden. We limit the amount of mechanized equipment used and focus on manual labour. We are using a biologically intensive approach to our market garden. This means that we grow a lot of food on a minimum amount of land while seeking to improve the quality of our soils. We do not use chemical inputs and grow our crops organically to provide healthy, nutrient dense food for our family and community. We also raise chickens for meat and eggs. Our laying hens free range and our meat birds are raised on pasture.

Karley Twin

Karley grew up on a grain and sheep farm by Fife Lake, SK. Her family moved to Kindersley in 2003 and she met her husband Cody in high school. Together they have three children and fixed up an old 2.5 story farmhouse on an acreage by Brock. Karley obtained her diploma in Architectural Technologies and owned her own drafting + interior design business in Kindersley for 12 years. In 2023, she found the urge to start a market garden to provide her community with organic, locally grown vegetables.
