Crooked Horn Farm is a small-scale certified organic (by KOGS #78) farm in Winlaw, in the Slocan Valley, BC. Farming since 2009, we grow a colourful variety of market vegetables as well as oyster and shiitake mushrooms. We have a deep love for food (growing, cooking and eating!) and a strong sense of responsibility for the land we steward, and these values inform our farming practices every day. We aim to grow nutrient-rich foods using organic and regenerative techniques that enhance the soil, minimize tillage, and foster beneficial wildlife around the farm.
Permaculture projects on the farm include riverbank and wetland restoration, preservation of wild areas, perennial cover crops, and flowering areas for bees and beneficial insects. We strive for a functioning holistic ecosystem to reduce pest and disease pressure instead of using toxic chemicals.
We believe that small-scale farming, using organic and ecological practices, is one of the most significant things that we can do to encourage a diverse ecosystem, feed our community truly healthy food, and make a small but important change in the world.
Find our delicious veggies at the Nelson Farmers Markets (Wednesdays and Saturdays), Gaia Tree Whole Foods (Winlaw), Kootenay Coop, Sleep is for Sissies (Winlaw), and various restaurants in Nelson. Or join our CSA for a weekly box of veggies from mid-May to November.
Thanks for supporting your local farmers!
