About the farm
Founded in 2008, Sundog is 14 fertile acres of highlands near the Sturgeon River. We grow a wide array of high quality, nutrient-dense certified organic vegetables for our local market and our beloved CSA members. We are transitioning to a no-till manner of growing, with the belief that this regenerative approach to agriculture is important for the preservation of our soils.
