With the Rooted in the Prairies Project, CANTERRA SEEDS aims to make life better in the places that our customers call home.
Launched in 2021, Rooted in the Prairies Project invests in local communities across Western Canada, now totalling over $500,000. CANTERRA SEEDS was founded by Canadian seed growers and we are a farmer-owned company to this day. The intent of the Project was to give back to the communities that have helped us become successful. Our business started in the Prairies and we continue to be rooted there today.
