The way we grow

Practical farming.
No theatre required.

We run a low-tech, soil-first farm because it keeps attention where it belongs: on healthy ground, good harvest timing and produce we are proud to hand over.

Build the soil

No-till practices, cover crops, organic matter and close observation guide the work.

Grow what works

A focused crop list lets us learn each crop deeply and improve consistency without overextending.

Be honest about supply

Weather and harvests change. We share what is actually available instead of promising beyond the field.

Our story

Built slowly enough to do it well.

Soil to Soul Ltd. was founded in 2021 by Kage Harris and Zac Ordinelli, two Nova Scotians who wanted to build a farm around useful work, healthy soil and food grown close to the people eating it. When we secured land in Upper Rawdon in 2023, the idea became a working market garden—built bed by bed while we learned the ground and earned local relationships.

We still grow, harvest and sell the crop ourselves. Keeping the farm owner-operated lets us stay close to quality, communicate clearly and make realistic commitments to the chefs, retailers and customers who depend on us.

Our aim is not to be the biggest name on an invoice. It is to be a dependable local grower: easy to reach, honest about capacity and serious about what leaves the field.
