We know how everything is grown and produced
We have one simple goal, and that is to ADD to the soil and make it a spot that years from now, people will be able to grow fruits and vegetables on a healthy and productive plot of land!!! By growing sustainably without the use of any pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, and providing FRESH seafood, we have found a growing trend of consumers who are equally as “Food Centric” in this manner as we are.
A BIT OF OUR STORY
We only started growing and selling seven years ago as a company, but watching my Mother and Father develop the family garden growing still to this day, is a vivid memory of my childhood. They always grew the standard; peas, onions, carrots, tomatoes of course and beets (which I hated at the time but have since become one of our biggest and best selling crops).
Loving to watch all these grow, the one thing they grew for years that excited me more than anything....was garlic!!! I have absolutely no clue why, but garlic was the one thing Dad grew that I gravitated to each and every year. Maybe it was watching Dad take the time to go through the many bulbs of garlic and picking out the biggest bulbs only to watch him break them open for seed and having him explain to me that you needed the biggest and best cloves to create the absolute best plants for next year. Regardless, it is Holly’s and I biggest crop to date and isn’t something I plan on slowing down on anytime soon.
How our company got started is a bit of a story. It involved me doing a job I didn’t like so much, getting fired, and as I was growing “on the side” already, simply started growing full-time. It was humble beginnings at the start indeed!! Our first two years we sold out of a 10x10 tent (parachute!!) on the side of the road in the booming metropolis of Shakespeare, ON, the “antique capital of the world."
LOOK AT US NOW
Now supplying our own Stand in Shakespeare, we are a year round vendor at the Woodstock Farmer’s Market, as well as supply local restaurants including Woodstock’s best “Six Thirty Nine.” (Located at 639 Peel Street in Woodstock).
Close to two years ago, we embarked on a new venture and re-opened the seafood booth at the Woodstock Farmer’s Market. Continuing on our “Food Centric” theme in the growth of ChrisProduce & Seafood, this endeavor has become quite the success, as it has been conveyed by people there.
