PROJECT RELEAF

We recognize the difficulties growers face in hunting through numerous websites for information. To make this easier, we've amalgamated essential information into a single, easy-to-access website that is designed and curated to save time for our growers.

If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to make this site better, we’re all ears.

Who We Are

    We go beyond being merely a supplier. Established in agriculture since 1937, we provide growers with the critical resources and insights required for success.

  • The BC Growing Community

    Expanding beyond the Okanagan, our reach extends across British Columbia, consolidating an agricultural network of like-minded growers.

  • Gov & Organizations

    Our collaborations with governments and local organizations only amplify our impact, helping create a network for agricultural unity.
