Our Difference

YukonGrow specializes in providing quality products and services related to living soils, grow amendments and grow media such as compost, manure, our own blends of living soil, as well as our flagship product: biochar.

Our high-quality products and services are uniquely adapted to the local grow conditions and practices ‒starting with the Yukon. We bring cutting-edge eco-friendly products such as blends of living soil based on inoculated and charged up biochar, and innovative services such as analysis of soil microbiome.

Our philosophy is based on the principles of (re)generative growing, circular economy, innovation, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) ‒including extended producer responsibility and environmental responsibility. For instance we:

• advance food security through fostering increased local production of food, at all scales
• limit usage of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides through fostering increased beneficial microorganisms
• capture carbon and displace usage of peatmoss through usage of biochar
• use and promote organic and CGSB-certified products wherever available
• use and promote local resources wherever possible (e.g. locally-sourced compost, manure, and soil)
• displace products that have higher social,  environmental, and carbon footprint (e.g. soil products trucked up from Southern Canada) rather than creating new needs.
• mitigate the production of waste from packaging, e.g.
• reduce packaging as much as possible (e.g. offering bulk)
• where packaging is necessary, use recycled material wherever possible (e.g. locally-sourced spent grain bags)
• where packaging has been used, recover and reuse it through as many cycles as possible (e.g. requiring and refunding a deposit)
• recover the value of ‘waste’ generated by forestry and the agri-food industry, e.g.
• upcycle locally-sourced spent grow media (microgreens) and manure
• we also have a strong interest for innovations in upcycling spent grain (e.g. malt waste), offal (e.g. blood meal, bone meal, feather meal, fish emulsion/sileage), and slash ‒connect with us with any suggestions!
