Dill-icious

First introduced to us during our pilot Northern Food Systems Innovation Program with support from Manitoba Agriculture, dill quickly earned its place in our grow beds.
Art Borups Corners June 2, 2025
Dill: From soil to simmer — this hardy northern herb brings a burst of freshness to our beds and our kitchens. A quiet favourite that’s become a returning star in our growing season.

Our Second Season of Growing Dill

This is our second year growing dill, and it’s quickly become one of our favourites! We were first introduced to this amazing plant during our pilot Northern Food Systems Innovation Program, supported by Manitoba Agriculture. Since then, it’s become a staple in our grow beds. This year, it was one of the very first plants we made sure to get into the soil — and it’s thriving.

Dill has not only added flavour to our meals but has become a symbol of how innovation and tradition can grow together in the North.
