Forsyth Farms will be doing a trial run for the month of July. Every cubic yard of brush brought in will be free of charge, as long as you purchase the same amount of material from the mart on the same day.

Example 1 : you bring in 1 yard of brush and purchase 1 yard of soil, the brush is free.
Example 2: you bring in 5 yards of brush and purchase 2 yards of soil, you still get billed for 3 yards of brush.

Brush/green waste must be clean, organics only, no stone, no fencing, or dirt, etc. Absolutely no broom!!

Any questions, please text Grant at 250-537-6315.
We are located at 176 Jones Road, Monday to Friday 9-5 and Saturdays 10-4.

To our valued customers:

We want to reach out to those of you that have supported us since our opening, we are very grateful to have such amazing clients, who are patient and kind with us in all interactions. Unfortunatley there are others who are entitled and demanding that are ruining how we feel about our business, and have us questioning wether we want to remain open.

Our biggest issue every year is having enough soil for everyone. I don’t think most people understand how much work, sweat and tears, go in to making our products. We understnd that having this type of business involved a lot of break downs and wear and tear, that is just the cost of doing business. But what people don’t see is the amount of hours Grant puts in to it, the deliveries, screening, fixing equipment, returning calls and setting up appointments. He is on average 12-14 hours a day.

Lately, we have been having an issue with our screener, Grant is out there before the rooster crows and until just before dark, and he is fine with that. What has him feeling defeated is the people that don’t understand and dont care, they are rude, tantrum throwing idiots. So we are aksing if those people could just take a step back and think about the face that you are dealing with mom and pop shops out there, who are providing an essential service to our community with as much gusto as they can, and if you are not happy bu**er off. Go find your stuff somewhere else, no one wants to deal with you, no one wants to hear your threats and your heavy sighs, you are not welcome and trust me if you know my husband, he will tell you that straight up.

Again, thank you for all the wonderful clients we have, we love you and appreciate your business and we will have your product on the ground or in the truck as fast as we are able to have it.

Your patience is grealty appreciated.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I see plants and flowers coming to life!! Gardening can be done almost year round in our area. Some of the things that can happen now:

Start planning out your garden and thinking about seeds. Most seed companies have their catalogue out and you can start ordering.
Fruit trees in bare root condition can be planted on any mild, damp day.
Trees and shrubs can be safely planted if the ground is not frozen.
Garden beds can be covered with compost to condition the soil. This will smother hardy weeds and enrich the soil.

And as a reminder we have a good variety of aggregates to choose from as well as wood products and soils/compost.

As always we can deliver.

We accept yard waste/land clearing debris and we have bins for rent to be left at your property for you to fill, and we will pick up.

We are located at 176 Jones road and we are open 9-4 Monday to Friday and Saturdays 12-3. You can contact Grant at 250-537-6315 (text only) or Michele at [email protected].
