Good Earth Farms is a small certified organic seed farm, owned and operated by Heather & Simon Toole, with help from a small dedicated staff. Located in Black Creek on Vancouver Island, B.C., the farm is situated in the unceded traditional territory of the Komox First Nation. Our seed business, which started in 2001, moved to our own farm in 2004. Here, we grow over 65 varieties of open-pollinated vegetables, herbs, and flowers for seed production. Good Earth is more than just a name, the soil is the foundation that supports life and provides the conditions for the growth of healthy resilient seeds and food. Getting our Organic Certification was important to us, making a tangible commitment to the land, water, air and seeds that we steward. Using only natural amendments, 3 year crop rotation with rest periods and cover crops, natural (non plastic) mulch for water and nutrient retention, maintaining our own water source, restricting the use of heavy equipment and soil tilling, switching to electric vehicles including car and lawn mower.
We are passionate about the varieties we cultivate, focusing on those that taste amazing and perform well. In response to the climate emergency, we are dedicated to organic and regenerative practices, striving to continually reduce our carbon footprint. We believe open-pollinated seeds are the foundation of a democratic and sustainable local food system. Our efforts are directed towards producing high-quality seed and preserving our farm and garden heritage.
