Vegetables oils, including canola, sunflower, soy, corn and olive are all extracted from seeds. The way that the oil is extracted from the seed has a direct effect on how the oil tastes and the amount of nutrients it has to offer. We use certified non-GMO canola seeds from local farmers to produce our canola oil and meal, which is a high quality and natural alternative. We then use the latest in cold-pressing technology to make our canola oil, a process not used by any other oil mills in Canada. Cold-pressing means that our seeds are not heated before, during or after the pressing process, ensuring a more flavourful and nutritious product. Cold-pressed canola oil has higher stability than typical retail canola oils, allowing for longer fry times and greater shelf life. No additional processing is used, resulting in a more natural, clean, and better tasting oil.
Our oils are also environmentally sustainable in that they require far less energy and transport to produce. Our bins of canola are located in our own farmyard, and excess canola is purchased from local sustainable farmers whom we trust. In addition, far less electricity is used, and no fossil fuels are burned to produce our oil. We offer a range of delivery strategies based on customer requests, from small shipments to bulk. Manufacturers, suppliers and nutritionists can order our products in a variety of formats. No matter the size of your business or needs, reach out and get in touch.

Cold-pressed canola oil can be added to an animal’s diet to promote the consumption of healthy and essential fatty acids, improving their coat, skin, and overall health. Cold-pressed canola oil is “brain food” for both humans and animals, and helps prevent cognitive decline associated with aging. With such high levels of antioxidants, including Vitamin E, carotenoids and polyphenols, canola oil can also be effective in extending the life of an animal and improving its immune system, especially when transitioning from one season to another.
