Where it all began
Bashaw Valley Farm & Greenhouse is a family run retail business now in its 21st year of
operation. We specialize in producing a wide selection of northern-hardy annual flower & bedding
plants, perennials, shrubs, trees and fresh fruits, and do so in an earth friendly way. Nearly all of
the plants offered are home grown in our 10,000 sq. ft. of greenhouses. Cold frames are also
used to harden off certain plants preparing them for the real world, your garden. We also have a
retail shop in which we offer a wide variety of gift ware as well as a great selection of planting
containers and baskets. For that avid gardener we carry a complete line of bulk & Old's garden
seeds , potato and onion sets, raspberry, strawberry & blueberry plants, asparagus roots,
fertilizers and mulch. We strive (with the help of some great employees) to put you the customer
first and to provide a relaxing yet rewarding experience while visiting our greenhouse located on
our picturesque family farm. We would like to thank you the customer for putting your trust in us
and look forward to serving you in the near future. For those who have not had the pleasure of
experiencing our greenhouse and farm setting we invite you and the family to make a day of it.
Whether it is shopping for plants, looking for that perfect gift, picking some mouth watering berries
or just enjoying the scenery, we welcome each and every one of you to "experience" Bashaw

Purpose
Here at Bashaw Valley Farm & Greenhouse we believe in producing a quality product at a fair
price. Customer service is number one, we strive to treat everyone equal and offer honest yet
practical advice.(Going Green) We have always had a close relationship with our environment.
Both Steve and Linda growing up with a farming background soon realized how fragile our
environment is. Therefore we have always strived to use earth friendly and environmentally
responsible practices in both our greenhouse and farm fruit growing operations. This is
accomplished by using horticultural oils for insect control rather than insecticides. We use
natural fungicides in our soil mix as needed. In our fruit production we use all organic practices
including organic fertilizer, no insecticides or herbicides and lots of old fashioned hard work.
You have no idea how humbling yet rewarding weeding an acre of blueberries by hand is, until
you have crawled around on your hands and knees for a month straight in 90* plus heat.
Choosing these growing practices, although a lot of hard work, has led to offering you a
healthier product as well as being environmentally responsible along the way.

The roots of Bashaw Valley were planted deeply on Steve's family farm. Steve and Linda started
out dairy farming in back in 1981. After several years of dairying we soon realized that if we were
going to survive as a family business we had better branch out into other business ventures.
Linda, already having a Bachelor of Science Degree in Horticulture,motivated us to try our luck at
a retail garden center. We started out by purchasing a used greenhouse in 1988 near Hayward
WI which was used for hydroponic tomato production. After a couple of years of highly
educational growing and retailing under our belt we decided to add another business. Never
ones to take the easy road in 1990,we planted one acre of organically grown half-high Northblue
Blueberries. Since then three more greenhouses and a retail shop have sprouted. After selling
the dairy herd in 1995 and replacing them with a beef cow-calf operation we decided on yet
another business venture. The first of seven storage buildings were built to accommodate your
every storage need. Then in 2008 we added to our organic fruit production by planting more
Raspberries for a total of 3/4 acre. In 2009 our first planting of 1/3 acre Strawberries and 1/10th
acre Asparagus were added to our certified organic fruit and vegetable production. Future plans
include experimenting with some organically grown cherries, pears, plums and peaches. In
2009 we also began to direct market our all natural grass fed Angus beef directly to our
customers. Twenty two years, lots of hard work and two children later we are still learning and
looking forward to helping you with all your gardening needs!
