Our Philosophy

At Moonhill Organic Garden, we see people, plants and soil health as inextricably interconnected parts of a vibrant food web.

Central to our methods at Moonhill organic garden is ecologically sensitive stewardship, and we recognize that the vitality of the garden stems from nurturing each of its interconnected parts. A commitment to organic and regenerative practices lies at the heart of how we grow.

Through techniques such as no-till farming, compost building, and cover cropping, at Moonhill we cultivate an environment where the soil thrives. Aiming to ensure its long-term fertility, we harness the power of organic and regenerative methods to help us not only produce nourishing food but also increase bounty and resilience within our ecosystem.

Our Mission

At Moonhill organic garden, our vision extends far beyond mere sustenance. We strive to cultivate a way of life that honours the intricate tapestry of nature, where each component is valued and respected. Through our dedication to regenerative agriculture and mindful stewardship, we aim to sow seeds of abundance, nourishing both soil and soul, while treading lightly on the land.

Low Carbon Commitment

To reduce fossil fuel inputs, Moonhill organic garden utilizes pedal power for produce deliveries and over half of our supply pick-ups. We support local and regional suppliers. For sea soil or manures brought to the land come from primarily Vancouver Island and Cortes Island.
