With two farm locations, Truly Northern Farms produces California-free, pesticide-free and drought-proof hydroponic greens for the local market
The growing price of lettuce on Sudbury shelves is no problem for Truly Northern Farms, based here in Greater Sudbury.
Two farm locations produce romaine lettuce and a greens mix, along with basil, bok choy, pea shoots, swiss chard, radish sprouts, broccoli sprouts and the list goes on.The farm began in 2017 as part of a cooperative under the name Smart Greens, but that didn’t pan out and they felt they spread themselves too thin with two local farms.
Rowe and Lanteigne also secured a government grant to erect an old hickory cabin and refurbish it with heat and wiring to turn it into a self-serve farm store that operates seven days a week, 24 hours per day in Blezard Valley. She serves as the board chair for the market, which has quadrupled in size throughout the pandemic, so she has connections to the local merchants and brings those products to “the Shed” as its called.
