Our Farm
West Grow Farms is a family-owned and operated indoor farm.
We work diligently to provide the best quality produce
Our Company
West Grow Farms has built a modern, technologically-advanced indoor farm facility . Our farm is centrally located in the Edmonton area to bring fresh, natural, chemical free, green leaf produce to the Edmonton Area
We measure freshness with a watch not a calander.
Our distance to market is usually less than 100 kilometers. This allows us to significantly reduce our environmental footprint and ensure our produce is delivered to retail as fresh as possible. Our packaging is compostable and we make every effort to minimize use of single use plastic.
A large portion of produce consumed in Canada is imported from the US and Mexico. Imported produce in Alberta has traveled a minimum of 3000 kms.
Our produce is delivered to stores within 100 kms, maximizing freshness and minimizing our impact on the environment.
We grow our produce using an aeroponic growing system, which minimizes the uses of water. We use 95% less water than conventional farming. Our farm uses 1.56 liters per 142 gram sales unit. It is estimated that an individual serving is 40 g. It can be deduced that an individual serving requires .4394 liters of water.
West Grow Farms does not have to utilize Pesticides or Chemicals because our growing system allows us to harvest quickly. Our Bio security measures also assists in our ability to minimize the need for non-natural additives. Our documented procedures were verified through our Canada GAP certification, and those procedures help ensure our produce meets Canada GAP standards.
By using a specially designed growing system, our produce is seeded, grown, harvested and packaged without being touched by human hands. When comparing our growing and harvesting methods to field-grown produce (imported), you will understand why theirs say “Triple-Washed” and our produce is Clean From the Start.
We also use an aeroponic hybrid system and we do not use soil in our process. Our plants are suspended in air and misted with water and nutrients at a regular interval.
Our Team
West Grow Farms is a family owned farm and is operated by our family. We also are supported by a dedicated staff that is well versed in how our systems work.
