Farm Project Description
From sea to soil! We are kelp farmers in the Southern Gulf Islands, with a number of agricultural products in development. We are looking for space or property in the Greater Victoria area that will allow us to expand the production of our soil conditioners and provide us with a laydown area for some of our aquaculture gear. We are also looking to develop an onshore cultivation system for some of our local species, within ALR, to contribute to agri-food production in the next year.
