Canadians have always been concerned about their environment. Few people demonstrated that concern more than Alvin Filsinger, the founder of Filsingers. When he founded Filsingers in 1953, he founded one of the first organic farms in all of Canada. Due to his dedication to sustainable, environmentally-friendly growing methods, the Canadian Organic Growers awarded him the prestigious Lifetime Organic Hero Award. Today, the Ayton, Ontario farm continues to grow apples and pears without the use of chemical herbicides or pesticides. To reduce their environmental footprint as much as possible, they process all of their ingredients on the farm. This also ensures that only the highest quality fruit products make it to your kitchen. If you’re looking for 100% Canadian, certified organic products, you’re looking for Filsingers.
