Mission Statement

To be the finest growers of gourmet herbs, gourmet lettuces,
baby vegetables and edible flowers.

History

Our family has a long history of farming in the South Surrey, B.C. area. Before specializing in herbs, baby vegetables and edible flowers our farm used to produce the more traditional crops of onions, carrots, head lettuce, romaine and green leaf lettuces. However, with the dramatic drop in returns for these staples a new direction was sought. Beginning in 1996, we introduced small scale herb production into our green houses. Through aggressive marketing including food service convention exhibits across Canada, frequent rendezvous and personalized service we expanded tenfold over the next three years. Today we are one of the largest distributors in Canada.

Awards

Evergreen Herbs Ltd. and its principals Ron Brar and TJ Brar were finalists in the 1999 & 2000 B.C. & Yukon Outstanding Young Farmers competition.

Our Farming Practices

Evergreen Herbs uses semi-organic practices to produce one of the healthiest and best quality crops of herbs, baby vegetables, gourmet lettuces and edible flowers

Top Quality from the Start

To assure the best quality we start all crops in our modern green house operation. This environmentally controlled setting is our first step in our extensive quality control operation.

We Employ Soil, Water and Energy Conversation

To inhibit weed growth we employ polyethylene ground cover and traditional hand weeding methods. Soil erosion is largely controlled through grass and hedge burms located at ditch margins. These features effectively inhibit water erosion of the soil during wet winter months. Winter wind erosion of soil integrity is effectively met through the planting of ground cover, usually winter oats.
