We Are Seed Keepers
We are a Mayan-Canadian family who strives to keep traditional knowledge alive through seed saving, farming, and teaching on our regenerative farm. “Regenerative” for us means we grow food in a way that actively improves the soil and boosts biodiversity.
We grow heirloom, open-pollinated seeds in bulk for seed companies. We also sell seeds to anyone who wants to grow their own food – check out what we’ve got for sale here.
We run our farm in a way that honours the Earth – where biodiversity thrives, food is abundant, and knowledge is shared.
Sustainability is at the root of everything we do. We work with nature to improve the land – rather than against it – and manage our farm as a living ecosystem.
We use regenerative practices based on traditional knowledge, we grow and save heirloom, open-pollinated seeds, and we teach the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
