How We Work
What Our Partners Are Saying
Our North American Diversity
Introducing Monette Produce
Adding potatoes and vegetables to the crop rotation had always been a goal of Monette Farms and in 2023, that became a reality when Dan and Chelsea Erlandson of Spring Creek Garden aligned their vision for the Saskatchewan Industry with Monette’s. Dan, longtime friends of the Monette brothers, has over twenty years experience growing and marketing vegetables within Western Canada. His strong focus on growing the Saskatchewan irrigatable acres and farming high value sustainable crops has been a passion since the beginning.
Spring Creek Garden and Monette Farms’s core values of team work, efficiency and getting shit done, no matter what, are what brought these two farming families together. Committed to growth and safe farming practices continues to be of utmost importance. We pride ourselves on focusing on the quality of our product, from transplant, to field, to shipping logistics.
With over ten years of being CanadaGAP Certified in Food Safety, Monette Farms will continue to refine production and handling practices, thus providing consumers with a safe and traceable product.
Facilities
Currently, we have two Monette Farm facilities both North East of Outlook, SK. These facilities allow us to wash, grade, pack, and store our product for up to a full calendar year.
Logistics
Quality Cold Chain is such an important aspect to successfully growing and shipping fresh potatoes and fresh vegetables which is why in 2023 we expanded our fleet to include three refrigerated semi trailers. Taking control of our shipping allows us even more control in the process so that quality remains a priority.
Locations
Located throughout North America in Saskatchewan, B.C. and Arizona, we offer a variety of growing conditions and extended seasons to supply retailers with even more options. Strongly concentrated within the South Saskatchewan Irrigation District near Outlook and Saskatoon, SK, Monette Farms is expanding vegetable acres using this valuable resource.

Sustainability
Varying methods of sustainable farming practices are used on our farm. To reduce soil erosion and increase soil health, we have been successful in using strip tilling with a cover crop. This greatly impacts the health of our vulnerable transplants as well by creating a wind break. Water is one of our most valuable resources so we use a variety of irrigation practices to reduce wastage and conserve energy. An integrated pest management system is also in place to safely combat pest problems.
Let’s create more, together!
