Cubit's Ethical Seeds for Edible Gardens
Cubit's is your online source of high quality organic, rare and heirloom seeds. We believe that everyone can grow their own delicious organic produce. We split our time between the busy city of Toronto & picturesque Prince Edward County and have a special interest in urban gardening and local food.
{ who we are }
We are Laura and Ryan and Cubit's is what happens when you combine art and design backgrounds with a intense interest in growing edibles.
In addition to growing our own food and growing our company, we are growing our family with little Rebecca who is 3 years old and her baby brother Robin.
{ our beginnings }
Cubit's started in our own back yard of a rented apartment in downtown Toronto where our mascot, Hazel, frequently dug up our gardens. After growing into several city yards, both our own and volunteered by friends and family we recently broke ground on a beautiful Ontario farm.
{ our name }
Cubit’s takes it’s name both from a name in our family tree and a historical Toronto market farmer named Cubit Sparkhall. He owned a large piece of land in East End Toronto, approximately where Withrow Park is now. Cubit was uniquely named after the cubit, an ancient measurement once used to measure building materials and small amounts of land; a cubit is about 18 inches, measured from the tip of your thumb to your elbow.
