What makes Origin Organics so original?

  • Years of research in fertilizer, soil and organic growing methods.
  • Compost generated from a unique approach used only at Origin Organic Farms. Leaves, stems, and fruit prunings are gathered throughout the farm then introduced into the accelerated composting system.
  • Proprietary, high-quality soil – with compost as its primary ingredient–enhances sustainability.
  • Sophisticated drainage and irrigation practices ensure no water, pesticide or chemical contamination from neighbouring farms.
  • Organic raw material is made into fertilizer, and drip irrigation ensures it does not come into contact with the tomatoes and cucumbers as they grow.
  • All drainage is recycled for reuse.
  • Farms complete the full sustainable cycle, and can produce four times the volume of traditional organic field crops.
  • Proven nutrition advantage—Origin Organic tomatoes have been found by the University of Guelph to contain four times more lycopene than conventionally-grown tomatoes.

New in 2009

  • More emphasis on the composition of soil. Now soil can be reused to grow the same crop year after year.
  • Development of a very accurate ‘fertigation’ model to determine the available organic nutrients for the plants. (More efficient fertilizer usage.)
  • Introduction of more biological pest control methods to protect the crop from unwanted pests.
  • Compliance to the New Canadian Organic Regime which represents a higher standard.
