About Our Farm Our Philosophy Why Organic? Message for 2004 Contact Us

Two Wings Farm has been growing gourmet heritage and heirloom vegetables for the fresh market since 1986. Over the years, we have trialed many varieties, always looking for the ones that perform best in our particular bioregion. For us, taste and nutrition have always been the first priority. We do not buy seed from elsewhere for resale. All our seed was grown on our farm by us, and is B.C. Certified Organic by Islands Organic Producers  Association.

Five years ago our farm was part of the I.F.O.A.M. Conference tour. We met organic growers from all over the world . The same shocking message kept coming through... They said they could not get organic open pollinated seed in their own countries. Since then, I've come to feel that it is more critical than ever that we all save seed. Get together with friends, neighbours, garden groups- start a seed bank.

   Welcome to our 9th year, 2008. This past summer has been one of the most difficult we can remember. Normally we have what is called a "summer drought" here in our bioregion, but instead we had several patches of cold wet stormy weather that made it very difficult to ripen and mature some things- again the chiles. We did in the end manage to harvest all our varieties but there are still some plants shivering in the greenhouse trying to ripen. Very unusual, and whether this will be a trend remains to be seen.

One of the bright spots has been the proliferation of Farmers Markets in our area, full of fresh local organic produce. People want to get fresh local food without the chemicals, and it's so nice to see that it is really happening.

We are excited and proud to offer two new varieties this year. "Elfin" is a beautiful little oval grape type cherry tomato, bursting with crisp firm sweetness. Glossy red reminiscent of jellybeans! Everyone loves it, and we do too.

Also we are very pleased to offer the genuine Piri Piri chiles. We collected them in Evora and Coimbra Farmers Markets last November in Portugal. In every town market they sell this dynamite little chile for Piri Piri sauce. Absolutely delicious on grilled chicken. (I even have a recipe in the seedlisting) We hope they find a place in your garden.

We look forward to another season full of promise and good things to eat and share with friends. There's nothing like sitting down with friends to a meal made from the fruits and vegetables of your own field. Bernie and I often remark about how sad it is that some people have never even had the pleasure of a "real" tomato! How lucky we are.

  We need to eliminate the extremes of wealth and poverty in the world, and not be disheartened by the enormity of the work that needs to be done. Part of what will help subsistence farmers (both here and abroad) to survive is access to open pollinated seed (their own seed) that can be saved from year to year, and the legal right to do so, free from interference.. whether it be from multinational corporations, government policy, or contamination from GMO pollen.

Our goal is to have your seeds in the mail within 2 days of receiving your order.

 

 

 

We will be at the Moss Street Market in Victoria with Tomato and Pepper plants starting in early May.
