Ottawa's 'Seedy Saturday' a huge success
This was our second year as a vendor at Seedy Saturday and we had a blast! Not to mention the turn out of about 1600 people was phenomenal. It was so fun to reunite with returning customers and to meet new ones! You can learn more about seed saving and Seedy Saturday events across Canada here.

The Good Shit wins top pitch at CSED Social Enterprise competition
After participating in Social Enterprise Bootcamp at the Centre for Social Enterprise Development (CSED), The Good Shit was awarded "Top Pitch" at Pitch Day 2023. The award included a cash prize and free consulting from CSED to help with business development. It was a wonderful experience and Steven (the rooster) and Cole met so many amazing people (and learned a whole lot). Thank you CSED!
