Grown & Produced in Sunny Alberta
Ark Gardens is a 'veganic' producer located in east-central Alberta, Canada. Veganic is a combination of the words 'vegetable' and 'organic'. 'Vegetable' meaning that we never use animal products, such as manures, feathers or blood/bone meals, at any stage. 'Organic' means that we never use chemical fertilizers, insecticides, or herbicides. We feel this is the safest, most nutritious way to grow fruits and vegetables. Ark Gardens is a small, family run operation that is off-grid; all of our power comes from the sun and wind.
We grow, harvest, clean and process by hand to ensure quality from start to finish. All cleaning or disinfecting of produce, containers and utensils is done with food grade hydrogen peroxide. We grow comfrey and use it to make a nutrient rich tea that feeds our plants and bio-activates our soil. We make our own non-toxic, all natural insect, fungus and mildew controls, and if there is an infestation that threatens a crop, we try to bring it under control with these homemade products. If that fails, we simply lose that crop, and the following spring we spray with our dormant oil and monitor the crop throughout the season. We grow a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs, mostly in raised beds. Our soil is hand mixed using a combination of organic plant compost, peat moss and vermiculite. We make our own mulch from trees and bushes that we prune, and we use it to combat weeds and reduce moisture loss. We are serious about what we grow and how we grow it.
We believe in the nutraceuticals (medicinal components) of plants, such as antioxidants and anthocyanins, that are found in red, blue, and purple fruits. Hence, the 'World's Greatest Jam' is a mixture of our strawberries and honeyberries. We seek to provide naturally grown, nutrient rich products for you and yours. We offer herbal and fruit teas, preserves, and heirloom/open-pollinated seeds.
