ABOUT US

 

GreenLion Farms is a family-owned and operated farm located in Armstrong, British Columbia, proudly run by Mark and Lesley van Deursen.

At GreenLion Farms, we believe that fresh, healthy, locally grown food should be available year-round, regardless of the season. Our passion for agriculture, sustainability, and innovation has led us to embrace modern growing technology that allows us to produce high-quality leafy greens and microgreens right here in British Columbia. Using advanced indoor hydroponic growing systems, we create the ideal environment for our crops to thrive. Our automated, climate-controlled growing chambers allow us to consistently produce fresh, flavourful greens without the need for conventional soil-based farming or chemical pesticides.

 

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do.

Our growing systems are designed to use water efficiently, recycling unused water back into the system and significantly reducing consumption compared to traditional farming methods. By growing vertically in a controlled environment, we can produce more food per square foot while using less land and reducing our environmental footprint.

 

But GreenLion Farms is about more than just growing lettuce and microgreens.

As a family-run business, our Christian values help guide how we live, work, and care for the resources we've been given. We believe in setting an example for the next generation, teaching our children the importance of faith, hard work, integrity, and responsibility. Most importantly, we want to show them that innovation, determination, and a willingness to do things differently can make a positive impact on the world around us.

 

Giving Back to Our Community

We recognize the growing importance of food security and the need to strengthen our local food supply. By producing fresh greens close to home, year-round, we aim to reduce our reliance on long-distance transportation while supporting a more resilient and sustainable food system.

We also believe that being part of a community means giving back. That's why we proudly donate fresh produce to our local food banks, helping provide nutritious, locally grown food to individuals and families who need it most. For us, it's not just about growing good food, but also about sharing what we grow and caring for the people around us.

 

Our mission is simple: To grow fresh, nutritious, great-tasting produce while caring for our environment, giving back to our communities, and helping build a healthier future for generations to come.
