Our Brands and Partners

Backyard Fresh

There is nothing as tasty and good for you as vegetables picked fresh by you from your own garden or patio.  Even beginning gardeners can enjoy the sweet taste of success with our line of highly popular veggies, sold with attractive Backyard Fresh® labels.

This Backyard Fresh® lineup is heavily weighted towards the most popular categories, while still offering a wide selection.  Tomatoes and Peppers are the most popular categories, with over 50 varieties between them.

Culinary Collectables

Foodies just love these fun and exotic plants. Culinary Collectibles® captures two of today’s hottest foodie trends;  growing your own vegetables and experimenting with new foods and flavours. While popular items like tomatoes and peppers are certainly part of this brand, the varieties chosen are rare, unique or sometimes simply oddball.

This product line features exotic produce from cucumelons to goblin eggs, and ‘Crystal Apple’ Cucumbers to ‘Dancing with Smurfs’ Tomatoes.  People collect all kinds of things, why not encourage them to keep collecting and trying new edibles each year!

Mighty Matos & Mighty Veggies

Stronger plants. Bigger Yields. Better performance all around. Grafting is used by commercial growers around the world to increase yields and disease resistance, and to reduce water and fertilizer requirements.

Home gardeners can now experience the exceptional performance grafting brings to tomato production.  Heirloom varieties are often the biggest beneficiaries of this (non GMO) technique, since they typically produce smaller yields. Grafting allows bigger harvests, while still maintaining Heirloom flavour and nutrition.  Peppers, cucumbers and melons round out the Mighty Veggie selection.
