A bit of history

Our history of farming began in Holland decades ago.  John Sr came to Canada with $20 in his pocket and literally started from the ground up.   After working very hard and saving enough money to purchase his first farm in Millgrove Ontario, he ran a successful 400 acre vegetable farm for over 40 years.   Wanting to bless their youngest son & daughter-in-law (that’s me), John Sr and his wife Helena purchased another farm in West Flamborough where we moved to and continued the farming dream that we both had in our hearts from a young age.

Introducing Apricot Kernels……

     After a family member was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, we put up a farm sign on our billboard and asked God to heal her in a prayer request that everyone could read. A compassionate couple read the sign and left a package on the doorstep of the farmhouse. It contained information about the benefits of a super seed known as the Apricot Kernel or B17.  We researched the information provided as well as conducted our own in-depth study and quickly realized that these amazing kernels were a life saver for countless people who consumed them. 

    We also began to look at the weaknesses of the Standard American Diet (SAD) in relation to the rapid increase of disease and in particular the skyrocketing cancer rates.  Amongst our research, we turned to our esteemed ancient book of knowledge, the Beneficial Instructions Before Leaving Earth (B.I.B.L.E) and realized that it is full of wisdom and guidance for healthy eating.  We were convinced that disease could be reversed in most cases and prevented in others, by our healthy food choices.  We also felt a strong conviction in our hearts, that we could not spray chemicals on the food we grow or the food we supply.       

     We began to grow and supply high quality organic apricot kernels and have since branched out to become an international supplier of this super seed! 

    In addition to our famous apricot kernels, we grow a variety of delicious fresh organic vegetables & fruit available through our CSA (community shared agriculture baskets).  Most recently we introduced to our customers yet another superstar food item known as Chaga, the King of the Herbs!  Chaga is a medicinal mushroom with amazing benefits and is grown on birch trees. 

    Our real passion, however, is in educating the community on the importance of eating local organic food and helping the body to heal itself, the way God designed it to.  Our customers include families with small children who are looking for healthy alternatives and a fresh start, those who are looking to reverse disease using nature’s remedies and those who plan ahead and aim to prevent disease.  

   All in all our objective is to provide a wholesome and organic platform for anyone looking for a healthier lifestyle…and we absolutely love sharing the harvest with our neighbours!


Thank you for visiting our website!  God bless you!
