TapRoot Farms Inc.
Business Description
Tucked in the heartland of the Annapolis Valley's farming belt, TapRoot Farms merges deeply-held family farming traditions with the most established organic heritage in Nova Scotia. In the spring of 2004, Josh purchased a vegetable farm in Lower Canard, Nova Scotia. Patricia his wife also comes from a farming family--her New England Planter ancestors settled the Valley in the mid-1700s. In 2007, Patricia purchased the first 23 acres of organic land in Port Williams that, combined with Josh's farm in 2011, would become TapRoot Farms. These lands gave them an opportunity to fulfill their dream of growing delicious, healthy food not only for their family but for others to enjoy. Since purchasing the organic farm in 2007, Patricia and Josh have been steadily increasing the number of acres in transition to organic and today, TapRoot Farms is 70% organic or in transition to organic, with the goal of becoming fully organic by 2020. Josh and Patricia instill the virtues of environmental responsibility in their three children--Izaak, Lily, and Frank--while involving them in all aspects of the farming operation. The family grows delicious veggies and fruit, raise free-range hens for eggs, and pastured animals for meat.
