Craft Hemp Since 2006
At the Good Seed, we believe in restoring the role of farmers and gardeners as stewards and protectors of sacred land.
Our human-scale model provides a regenerative, craft alternative to industrial agriculture and extractive economics.
Guided by powerful plant collaborators we deepen our resolve and hope for a joyful and resilient future.
Our Origin Story: Re-Connecting to the Land
In 2006, we started The Good Seed Hemp Company, farming hemp, grain, and vegetables in our Metis Homeland in Treaty Six Territory, on the shores of Kwakostowin Lake, Saskatchewan. We had an antique tractor and equipment, family land and big dreams.
A dream of joyfully connecting to the land while bringing healthy food and medicine to the people. Over time, the dream has grown to include raising children, exploring the diverse uses of hemp, learning about multitudes of sustainable agriculture methods both new and ancient, trading seeds with other Nations across Turtle Island, and helping others re-connect to land as sacred.
We now live and cultivate on leased land in traditional Coast Salish Territory on Southern Vancouver Island while maintaining and increasing biodiversity on the family land in Saskatchewan. We hope our offerings inspire and bring you joy!
