ABOUT US

Who We Are
Plan B Organic Farm is a family owned & operated, certified organic vegetable farm in Flamborough, Ontario, in the North West corner of the Hamilton region. We grow 30 acres of veggies, greens & fresh herbs in the fields and under cover in our greenhouses.
Established in 1997 by Rodrigo Venturelli, Alvaro Venturelli and Melanie Golba, Plan B is Hamilton's original organic Community Supported Agriculture farm.
Back in the 90s we chose the name "Plan B” because it symbolized our desire to provide our community with an “alternative” to veggies grown using “chemical agricultural practices”.
Our crops are Certified Organic by Pro-Cert Canada.
What We Do
GROW:
We grow 30 acres of vegetables, fruits, greens, & herbs using Certified Organic farm management practices in accordance with the Canadian Organic Standard and in harmony with our local ecosystem.
GATHER:
We find and build relationships with other certified organic farmers across Southern Ontario to bring their delicious food to our customers through our Multi-Farm Organic Food Box program.
SHARE:
Deliver fresh fruit, vegetables, and prepared foods direct to local households around Hamilton, Halton, & Toronto. Help build a healthier local environment, economy & community.
