The Backyard Blog

The Backyard Urban Farm Company is a Toronto based, family-run business that serves the greater Toronto area and surrounds.

We design, build, install and maintain organic vegetable gardens for homes, schools, corporate spaces, daycare centers and retirement facilities. There are so many ways you can grow your own food and we can show you how! It’s a fun, easy and relaxing activity for the whole family.

I had the great pleasure of visiting the Matchbox Garden and Seed Company’s greenhouse this weekend. I was there to pick up tomato, cucumber and squash seed for my son’s school garden club. Not only did I get the seed but I was treated to an invigorating conversation about seed saving and the importance of growing your own food. Thanks to you Eric and your partner Hanna who’ve got great things growing again this year. If you are looking for organic and heirloom seed, a CSA share or a location near you to buy their farm fresh produce, check them out. http://www.matchboxgarden.ca/
