Steveston Stock and Seed Farm
The Steveston Stock and Seed Farm has never used herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers since it was established in 1877. They are best known for producing grass-fed beef and organically-grown, open-pollinated heirloom vegetable seeds, going all the way back to their 1890 seed catalogue. Their seed gardens are 100% organic and the majority of the beef is 100 per cent grass fed. They recycle and feed their Belted Galloway’s barley mash left over from the brewery process from the Big River Brew Pub in Richmond. Over 60 years ago, they had 2,000 free-range hens, but stopped because egg companies refused to take eggs with rich yellow yolks caused by eating grass. Thanks to consumer demand, they recently started producing eggs again from a small flock of free-range chickens.
Two EE’s Organic Produce
Two EE’s Organic Produce was established over 50 years ago on five-and-ahalf acres and sold produce in a small store on the property. Not wanting to put ‘poisons’ in their food, they grew everything without sprays, but didn’t become certified organic until later. In 1999, when they bought 20 acres of agricultural land and soon become certified organic to widen their market and provide organic wholesale. They have remained family-owned, now run by the son of the original owner, along with his wife and six children. They are known for providing produce early in the season, going the extra mile to get the season going. 18105-88 Ave, Surrey | www.wegroworganic.ca
