The Gardens

Solomon Brook Farm is home to a 1 acre vegetable farm run by a group called Soil Mates Cooperative. Previously known as the Abundance Cooperative, Soil Mates Cooperative consists of three wonderful and very energetic people -
​Robin Johnston, Marena Thomson and Mykal Koloff.
​They are first generation farmers passionate about growing high quality food in an ecologically responsible way for our community. 

Healthy food grown right here at the farm!
Food from the gardens is available for purchase for people coming for retreat, courses and workshops.

How it is done!

Soil Mates focus on growing high-quality, delicious vegetables while continuously working to improve soil health through the use of cover crops and proper nutrient management. They also encourage biodiversity on our farm by creating habitat for birds, frogs, snakes, bees, worms, and more. This biodiversity helps control pests and diseases, make nutrients available to crops and so much more! They also control pests and diseases through physical barriers (such as row cover and insect netting), crop rotation and biological controls. 
Vegetables are non-GMO and grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

 How to find them

Soil Mates produce a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs sold on the beautiful South Shore of Nova Scotia. You can find them weekly at the Lunenburg Farmers' Market and the Privateer Farmers' Market in LIverpool. Their produce is also featured at several restaurants on the South Shore including The Beach Pea, The Bicycle Lunch Box and The Port Grocer.
