Thiessen Farms (est.1948) run by 3rd generation farmer Amy Thiessen together with my parents Ron & Lorie, is a small family farm growing vegetables, herbs, flowers & blackberries.
My goal is to grow healthy produce that tastes great – and looks great too!
Healthy produce comes from healthy soil. The use of compost & manure, cover crops, green manure, mulching, crop rotation & companion planting are ways we maintain & improve our soils.
I love colour, variety & growing heirloom varieties when possible. If it has a fun name I am going to grow it. Lava lamp lettuce, queen of the night & pink champagne tomatoes, chocolate habaneros, glow stick carrot mix….
I market my produce seasonally through my CSA (community supported agriculture) program, and at the Downtown Georgetown Farmers’ Market in Georgetown on Saturday mornings.
