Abundance through organic renewal

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

Our Philosophy

A commitment to organic and regenerative practices lies at the heart of how we grow at Moonhill Organic Garden. Central to our methods is ecologically sensitive stewardship. We recognize that the garden’s vitality depends on nurturing each interconnected part, and we strive to cultivate a way of life that honours nature’s intricate tapestry, where every component is valued and respected.

Through techniques such as no-till farming, compost building, and cover cropping, we cultivate an environment where the soil thrives, enabling us to grow deeply nourishing food while increasing abundance and resilience throughout the ecosystem.

Low Carbon Commitment

To reduce fossil fuel use, Moonhill Organic Garden uses pedal power for produce deliveries and for more than half of our supply pick-ups. We support local and regional suppliers, and the sea soil and manures brought to the land come primarily from Vancouver Island and Cortes Island.
