Meet Ken! 

A true agricultural expert and the heart of Revival Seeds, Ken’s journey with farming began early, with his first tractor ride on his grandfather Stanley’s 1945 Case row cropper—a moment that sparked a lifelong passion for agriculture. Growing up in rural Manitoba, Ken was surrounded by a family of farmers who cultivated many of the varieties now carried by Revival Seeds.

Ken’s hands-on experience began in his teenage years, working in an onion factory pickling onions and at McCains packaging potatoes. His love for the land led him to earn a Bachelor of Education and an Agriculture and Horticulture Diploma with Honors from the University of Manitoba. His excellence in the field earned him the prestigious Governor General Award and the Highest Standing in Farm Planning Project Brad Jonk Memorial Award.

With a wealth of experience, including managing a 10-acre apple orchard in BC and a 10-acre organic market garden in Manitoba, Ken brings unmatched expertise to Revival Seeds. He’s a mastermind when it comes to seed history, trials, mulching, field planning, growing information, and plant genus—and he’s always eager to learn more. Ken is dedicated to ensuring the success and sustainability of every seed we plant.

Beyond farming, Ken is a talented singer-songwriter and recording artist who toured the world with his band Sleddogs. In addition to his work at Revival Seeds and his love for music, Ken enjoys bird watching, architecture, and woodworking!

Meet Kathy!

The indispensable force behind the smooth operations at Revival Seeds has a Master of Education from Brandon University, a Bachelor of Business Education from the University of Manitoba, and a Prairie Horticulture Certificate from Olds College. She has played a key role in developing horticulture curriculum for Grades 9-12 and spent 10 years teaching horticulture and greenhouse production across multiple school districts.

Kathy’s love for gardening began in her childhood, when she eagerly looked forward to visiting her grandfather’s big garden. She still fondly remembers the wooden path lined with tall trees that led to rows of peas, beans, and raspberries, which she would pick with delight. Her father also had a large garden, where he lovingly tended to the plants and taught Kathy the art of companion planting.

At Revival Seeds, Kathy wears many hats. She not only manages a wide range of tasks on the farm but also handles crucial behind-the-scenes work, including administrative tasks, management, and bookkeeping. Kathy ensures that everything runs smoothly, from the fields to the office. She’s also the one who personally brings your orders to the post office every day so that they reach you on time.

Kathy loves spending time with her family, dancing, cooking, and baking. She enjoys trying out new recipes using the farm’s fresh produce, bringing the flavours of Revival Seeds into her kitchen!

Meet Mallory!

A loving mother of two boys, with a little girl on the way due in fall 2024, Mallory often has her kids join her in the fields, where they learn the values of hard work, respect for nature, and the joys of farm life.
