Our aspiring bio-dynamic farm is nestled in the heart of Upper Squamish BC, using methods from the ages and evolving methods of our time. We are creating a farm and methods that stimulate the farm's inherent fertility, and health through the integration of crops and livestock, the restoration of on-farm biodiversity, and with the mindfulness of the influential energy of the sun, moon, and planets, aligning the farm with the comic frequency.
Nutrient Dense Farm is a small scale urban and rural farm with 3 plots in the heart of beautiful Brackendale and 2 plots engulfed in the upper Squamish valley. We grow a diverse range of seasonal vegetables following an intensive style of cultivation. We adhere only to natural growing methods while experimenting with a diverse eray of farming methods, including biodynamic, no till, companion cropping, cover cropping, etc. Most of the work is hands on utilizing various hand and power tools, and a walk-behind tiller with numerous innovative implements - in other word our feet stay connected to the ground.
On our farm we believe "you are what you eat?" and "food matters”. We also believe that “plants are what they eat”, and the soil is a big part of their diet. In other words, we are very passionate about soil and its complex ecosystem. One of our main interest resides in how nutrients cycle through the soil, into plants and then ultimately into ourselves. As we continually learn, we are increasingly able to build a balanced and healthy soil that can create the proper platform for strong and nutrient dense crops.
