Saturday Farmers’ Market Vendor Feature: Seed of Life Farm

This week we are excited to feature one of our returning vendors who was a regular at our market last year: Seed of Life Farm.

You may recognize the friendly faces of Krystyna and Jason, who started Seed of Life Farm just last year and offer a wide variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers, grown with a focus on sustainable practices. They love to hear how people use their produce and herbs at home and especially how certain flavours and aromas bring people great memories.

We asked Krystyna why they started they business and what motivates them in their work.

Jason and I feel a strong connection with the earth and with the people living on it. We are fascinated by the beauty and the complexity of plants and it is with so much happiness that we go play in the dirt and interact with nature everyday. We are both epicurians, loving delightful foods but loving even more to know where they come from and how they have been grown. It is in respect of the earth and in respect of the people of our community that we grow all of the food we bring to market. Seed of Life has the mission to make food produced with organic practices available for all incomes. It is our way to make the change we want to see in the world.

Among the products/services you sell, what is your personal favourite and why?

We love our herbs! Fresh they transform a simple dish into a delight, and a simple glass of water into a tasty refreshment! Dried, we steep them and they make warm comforting teas filled with medicinal properties!

Last season, Seed of Life wowed market shoppers with the unique and wonderful vegetable varieties they grew, including basil mint, tromboncino squash, and beautiful spotted pumpkins that even won them first prize in the Weirdest Veggie Contest at the September Fall Fair Market!
