Grow With Us

 

Circle Farms is passionate about providing high-quality, non-GMO, untreated seeds that thrive in the Canadian climate. Whether you’re a home gardener or a cut flower farmer or homesteader, we aim to make growing plants easier, more rewarding, and chemical-free. 

About Circle Farms

We started as a backyard urban homestead in Calgary, Alberta and have expanded to add a one-acre garden plot just outside the city. Our dream is to eventually move to an acreage, where we can further expand our commitment to sustainable, natural gardening practices and self sufficiency. 

We grow many seeds ourselves, without chemicals or pesticides. We also source seeds from trusted seed suppliers who rigorously test for germination to ensure the best quality. We do this to be able to offer a wider selection of seeds.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help other gardeners and growers have successful and beautiful gardens, and to become more self-sufficient by using heirloom and open-pollinated seeds that can be saved and replanted, ensuring year-after-year abundance. 

Our Commitment to You

We believe in going the extra mile to create a better seed shopping experience by offering: 

• Free shipping within Canada on all seed orders 
• Fast order fulfillment within 3 - 5 business days 
• Responsive customer service by a real person
• Seeds packed by people, not machines
• 4% loyalty rewards to thank you for growing with us 

Thank you for growing with Circle Farms. We look forward to being part of your garden journey!
