“Fresh greens to dine for.” That’s how Sandra Salmins, owner of Wild Parrot Delectables, describes her products. Sandra, who holds a Master of Science degree in organic agriculture from McGill University’s Macdonald College, is passionate about sustainable, local, nutrient-rich food. Production practices at Wild Parrot Delectables include raised beds, soaker irrigation, and a special soil mix as well as the use of a greenhouse. Sandra does not use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or fertilizer. Her lovingly produced “shoulder season” greens are available from March through early June and from late September until Christmas. Sandra has been a member of the Canadian Organic Growers since 1991.
