About us
Hey There, we're the Rude's!
We are a small family farm located in rural Alberta with a passion for growing.
Most days you can find us getting our hands dirty working on the farm. It may be in the field, gardens, greenhouses or with the animals.
When we aren't busy working on the farm you can catch us at the lake, at a rink, rodeo or cooking smores around a campfire. These are a few of our favorite past times.
Thank-you!
Kent, Stacey, Kaitlyn & Ty
HOW IT ALL BEGAN...
We built our storefront and first greenhouse in the winter of 2004 and opened our doors for our first bedding plant season in May 2005.
Later that fall, we added an additional greenhouse. This extra greenhouse space was minimally heated and was initially used as a hardening-off area for our bedding plants and custom containers.
In 2008, we purchased a 5-bay gutter-connect greenhouse from a tomato grower that was retiring in the Brooks area. This was a huge job dismantling, hauling all the pieces back home, and rebuilding the greenhouse again piece by piece, bolt by bolt.
We started growing bedding plants in the greenhouses and have added vegetables and cut flowers over the years.
Giving Back
We are committed to supporting our local businesses and non-profits. Not only do we believe in the importance of investing in our community, but we also recognize the positive impact that small businesses and non-profits have on our society.
We make a point to give back to our community through volunteering and supporting various organizations.
We believe in the power of collective action and the
importance of being actively engaged in making our community a better place.
BMO Farm Family Award
In 2019, we received the BMO Farm Family Award for Beaver County.
This was truly an honour to be recognized for our work.
