Welcome to Heritage Farm

 

Get Back to Basics

Heritage Farm is here to help you enjoy rural life. Join us as we explore nature and country living here in Western Canada.  In an age of hectic schedules, overtime, fast food and debt ratio, it's time to get back to basics. We hope you can connect with some of the stories and we encourage you to share some of your own with us. Thanks for visiting.

 

Heirloom Seeds

The farm field trials were a huge success here in our northern zone 2b. We are excited to offer 80 of the best varieties of heritage seed for you to try in your own garden. Email us to add your name to the list for our free spring mailout.

See Heirloom Seeds above.
