Manhattan Farms was born in 1987 in the kitchen of its founder, Leslie Scrimshaw. It thrived in the concrete jungle of downtown Vancouver, to an acreage in the BC interior and then onto High River Alberta. It was with mixed feelings she decided to give up her business. Being unable to continue the day-to-day the operation, due to her battle with MS. This is where we came in; my husband and I purchased Manhattan Farms in March of 2005.We have always had a fondness for gardening but mostly flowers in the past and growing the vegetables just seemed like a natural progression to us. Learning from Leslie about 'Heirloom' and 'Open Pollinated Seeds' has given us more of a desire to grow and save our own seeds. This is the direction that Manhattan Farms will be heading in the future. Manhattan Farms has once again returned to the interior of BC, and within the near future we will be planting and producing our own organic seed to bring Manhattan Farms full circle. Leslie will stay on board to assist with new collection and product lines along with advising us with her many years of experience. We look forward to offering these seed collections and earth friendly products to more and more people.In our catalogue we have a line of Indigenous Wildflowers of North America. As well we have begun to offer all of our collections in the popular envelopes and city gardener boxes. Some stationary products round out our selections. We've created six recipe cards and canning label styles for the cooks amongst you. To go with our wild flower seed packs we have card blanks that make them into great seed cards to send off to your friends. Flower pressers may find these a welcome addition as they make a great frame for your creations. We are looking forward to a great growing season. Good gardening. Bob & Suzanne |
