The Farm

Nourished Roots Market Garden is a 2/3 acre micro farm located in beautiful Mono Ontario on rented property. We grow a wide variety of vegetables using sustainable growing practises, specializing in leafy greens and salad mixes. We are currently serving our community in Toronto at Humber Bay Shores Farmers' Market and our Online Store.

The intention of Nourished Roots Market Garden is to offer organic produce to as many people as we can, while maintaining harmony in our ecosystems and quality of life for all involved with the farm.

We never use chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers but rather focus on nurturing the soils to support the growth of vegetables. We practise no-till and hand tend our crops with small hand tools. It is abundantly clear that the health of our crops relies on the health of our soil. The more diverse our soils, the more nutrient dense and flavourful our vegetables will be and that’s what it’s all about for us! We are not certified organic but our farming practise go above and beyond the standards of certified organic.

A Little Tale of How It Started

We met in 2012 tree planting in BC and quickly fell in love. On our days off we’d eat good food and daydream about growing a garden rich in vegetables. That summer after the trees were all planted, we spent a month WWOOFing on a small organic market garden on Vancouver Island that completely changed how we thought of farming. We spent the next few years working our bush jobs, travelling, working on farms, reading farming books and studying holistic nutrition. 2016 we made the leap and retired from the bush to move back to Ontario to work a full season at Zocalo Organics farm. The following summer Nourished Roots was born on a tiny rented plot in Erin Ontario and at the end of 2021 we moved the whole farm to a rented property in Mono. It’s been a wild ride and we are still in search of our forever farm.
