Who we are
Gail and I (Wally) are both long-time residents of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We operate an urban market garden. One unique feature of our market garden is that it is located within the confines of a city: Saskatoon. Our produce is grown on a number of residential garden plots scattered throughout the city.

This allows us to practice an eco-friendly form of agriculture, one that puts less pressure on rural habitats, and fosters self-reliance in an urban setting. This form of agriculture makes it more feasible to utilise organic household kitchen wastes, as much of this material can be composted and used for growing crops.

How we grow
All our produce is home-grown, and everything is harvested by hand. All our produce is grown without pesticides or herbicides. We use only natural fertilisers, such as locally composted organic materials.

All our produce is irrigated with city water and rainfall, thus ensuring high-quality growing conditions.

What we grow
Gail and I grow and sell our produce from late May until late October. We have a variety of produce available throughout this period. We usually have spinach, lettuce, rhubarb, salad mixes, green and red onion bunches, green garlic, and radish available by late May/early June. Many of these items are available throughout the growing season. Summer sees the introduction of potatoes, peas, carrots, green and yellow beans, cucumbers, shallots, garlic, dill, and summer squash. A variety of fresh produce is available in the fall time until late October. We take pride in our ability to provide produce to our customers on a steady weekly basis.

How to obtain our produce
Gail and I sell our produce at the Saskatoon Farmer's Market at the downtown City Hall location on Saturdays (8 a.m.- 2 p.m). We usually have produce available by late May and sell on a weekly basis until late October.

Home deliveries in Saskatoon
We offer our customers the option of receiving our produce via home deliveries. If you would like to be updated weekly by e-mail regarding the availability of produce for sale, contact us by using the email link on this page. During the growing season, you can simply place an order by email. Minimum order is $10.00.
