Atlantic Grown Organics Inc
Business Description
We are Atlantic Canada’s largest organic greenhouse growing fresh produce all year round for markets across the region.
Founded in 2001, Schurman Family Farms is a certified organic farm located in Kensington, Prince Edward Island. Schurman Family Farms is committed to creating a food system that is respectful of the environment, the quality of the products we grow, and the local community we serve. Our farm is both GAP and Organic certified.
Atlantic Grown Organics is the label we use to sell Schurman Family Farm beef tomatoes, grape tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers throughout Atlantic Canada.
Most farms can grow from the early spring into the late fall, but we are able to grow year round due to our greenhouse and lighting. At any given time, we have around 2000 tomato plants and 1400 English cucumber plants. We also grow peppers (green and red), eggplant, grape tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, kale and swiss chard. While growing organically in a greenhouse shares many similarities with growing in a field, it provides a different set of challenges.
