Peters Family
Meet the Peters family. Jos and Dorthy head up their multi-generational farm in central Alberta. The Peters family milk goats, and grow saskatoons and organic Rhodiola rosea. The climate and soil are perfect, and the Rhodiola roots are massive!
Dr. Ron Smith
Test plot in New Brunswick. This province has an extended growing season with milder winters. Under the guidance and nurture of Dr. Ron Smith, this test plot will show how well Rhodiola rosea can grow in eastern of Canada.

Our Growers
Hans
ARRGO Member Hans and family have gathered to bring in the harvest.
Roy
ARRGO Member Roy is holding a 5-year- old Rhodiola rosea plant. The plants have gone dormant and have experienced overnight frosts prior to harvest. Covered bins store and contain the roots during transport. Immediately after harvest, Roy delivers the roots for processing.
Monica
ARRGO Member Monica shows two large roots from her delivery. Each of these roots will weight more than 1 kg. Her crop is in sandy soil which grows large roots that are easier to clean.
Shauna
ARRGO Member Shauna is in the ARRGO booth at SupplySide West. Shauna knows how to grow Rhodiola and she can talk about the business of ARRGO to our customers.
Back in Alberta the Rhodiola thrives in our cool climate and long summer days.
