About Us

Sustainability generally refers to sourcing raw materials responsibly, in a way that does not deplete the resource or harm the earth. Here’s how we live out this principle:

Local Sourcing: All of our wheat straw is sourced from local farmers, mostly within a 100km (60 mile) radius of our facility. This minimizes the transportation distance between us and the farmers’ fields.

Fair Compensation: We ensure that the farmers with whom we partner are fairly compensated.

Transforming a Byproduct: Wheat is primarily grown for its berries (seeds), leaving the straw as a waste product. While some straw is reincorporated into the soil to add organic matter, there is normally an excess. We repurpose this surplus straw, giving it new life and helping others instead of letting it go to waste.

Sustainable Harvesting: Wheat is an annual crop, so we are not depleting the earth’s supply. We harvest what is being grown, nothing more!

Partnering with Farmers: Our sourcing practices include engaging with farmers and suppliers to understand their growing practices. This ensures the long-term health of the soil and the environment.

We source all our wheat straw from local farmers in the heart of the Canadian Prairies, Manitoba, with most of our suppliers located within a 100 km (60 mile) radius of our facility.

Yes, they are all Non-GMO! All our products are 100% wheat straw and sourced locally from the Canadian prairies, where all wheat grown is non-GMO

We all share a fundamental desire for good health, which often translates into a conscious effort to steer clear of harmful chemicals in the products we bring into our lives. Creating products that prioritize all our safety and well-being is important to us.

Our rigorous testing protocols ensure that each product meets stringent safety standards. We personally use these products and extend your concern for safety to gardens, pets, animals and us alike. While our products may not carry the certified organic label due to numerous issues found in the quality of certified organic wheat straw, rest assured that our testing procedures are thorough.

Collaborating closely with farmers, we ensure that the wheat straw utilized in our products undergoes thorough inspection for cleanliness. While we cannot guarantee that our products are absolutely 100% free from the smallest trace of chemicals, our regular testing consistently yields results either on par with certified organic straw or detecting one or two chemicals at the lowest measurement possible, well under any acceptable government standards for food products.

Our commitment is to provide you with the safest and cleanest products that will perform for you at the highest levels.

Each product is uniquely designed and processed to meet its intended purpose.
