About Us

We are a family owned and operated company that specializes in the production and processing of Caraway seed.

It all started 50 years ago when John W Giesbrecht was looking for an opportunity to add value to his grain farm.  He put in his first field of Caraway and it was a success.  In the next 50 years we continued to improve and perfect the production and processing of Caraway Seed. We continue to be a family owned and operated business with a passion and knowledge to produce high quality Caraway seed that has been passed down from generation to generation.

From Farm to Food

It is our goal that all of our Caraway seed brings the maximum value to everyone from the farmer right though to the consumer. The majority of our Caraway Seed is produced with grower contracts. This allows us to walk alongside the farmer to ensure the best agricultural practices are followed. This will help lead to a crop of Caraway with the highest possible value, quality and food safety. We do also purchase limited quantities of off contract Caraway. 

We contract and purchase Caraway throughout western Canada from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Caraway is purchased on a clean seed basis after it is run though our specially designed processing plant.  The Caraway seed is methodically run through 12 different machines all specially designed for Caraway seed. The Caraway is cleaned to purities ranging from 99.9 to 99.97% pure. The unique design of our plant allows us to maximize quality while minimizing dockage. So we maintain maximum value for the farmer while producing maximum quality and purity for the consumer.
