Nanoose Edibles Farm is active in the protection of the agricultural land in the region and follow cover cropping and crop rotational practices on their fragile land. They are constantly searching out new varieties of vegetables that are well-suited to the farm and Vancouver Island’s variable soil and weather conditions. Improvements in selection of vegetable varieties and extending the growing season are continuing goals of the farm.
