Grow with Northern Know-How.
Growing food in the North takes seeds suited to the season and knowledge grounded in the place you grow.
Taiga brings together cold-climate seed collections, nursery plants, and practical learning, alongside the development of Taiga HEAT Compass™, a harvest intelligence app for specialty crop farmers and home food gardeners.
Grow by Conditions, Not Dates.
What does this season mean for your harvest?
We’re developing a harvest intelligence app for Northern specialty crop farmers and home food gardeners to predict harvest timing and the likelihood of reaching harvest, with predictions updated as conditions change and you record what your plants are doing.

Both Sides of the Garden Gate
Before becoming a certified organic farmer, Taiga founder Caroline spent more than a dozen years as a home gardener. Nine seasons at The Boreal Farm near Lake Superior deepened her understanding of how local conditions shape each planting and its harvest.
From a household garden to a working farm, the questions are familiar: What will grow well here? When should I plant? Will it reach harvest? And why didn't it reach harvest?
Taiga grew from those questions, bringing Northern experience and plant knowledge together to help specialty crop farmers and home food gardeners make informed decisions throughout the season.
