Our
farm philosophy
is to specialize in high value hand harvested crops.
Our
savory
is harvested and dried in August and September and sold year round.
The savory, actually Summer
Savory Saturna hortensis, began for us on a very
small scale in 1979 as a fundraiser for a ladys group. The
following year the ladys bowed out and my father began to employ
modern farming methods and mechanized drying to produce the crop.
He also began to build the specialized machinery needed to handle,
dry and process the crop. Inventing and reinventing machinery has
been his work and passion to this very day. His goal has always
been to produce the finest quality savory possible.
In 1999 we purchased T.C.Wile Enterprises,
a savory packaging and distribution company, from T.C. himself.
Prior to 1999 we had supplied T.C.Wile with savory and as our ability
to produce had increased, so had T.C.s market. We now package
and distribute savory to over 200 customers
in Atlantic Canada. The search for complimentary products
and distribution efficiency led us to investigate organic herbs. In 2001 we received organic
processor certification with the Nova Scotia Organic Growers Association and now package and market 25 organic culinary herbs. |
