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.
