About ALM Organic farm and Full Circle Seeds

ALM Farm and Full Circle Seeds were started in the mid-90’s on a 100 year old farm 8 km west of Sooke. An adjoining timbered property was acquired in 2007. The farm has 6 greenhouses, a large barn and a new farm store with a harvest area and walk in cool room. The owner pioneered organic growing, helping to start the Moss Street Market.

Over 200 apprentices have trained at this farm many going on to start their own farms. We have a small box program of about 15 people, the first box program in the area; sell at the Moss street market in Victoria, at our farm store, and to a number of local restaurants. We have a two to four apprentices living on the farm and working full time as well as several volunteers who come for full or half days throughout the week. Full Circle Seeds has over 250 varieties of seeds we grow on our farm and market through our website, at the markets and the Seedy Saturdays on the Island. The owner is involved in the farm but lives on a different property 4 km from the farm.
