Growing the Real Flavors of Home
Afro-heritage crops, grown with intention in Ontario
It started with a question...
What if fresh Afro-heritage crops grew right here in Canada?
True North Tropical began as a backyard garden and blossomed into a healing journey. We grow with purpose—meaningful food for us because we matter.
We grow what we want to see on our plates and in the world
Food isn’t just sustenance. It’s memory, medicine, and meaning.
At True North Tropical, we grow crops that tell our story.

Rooted in Culture. Growing with Purpose.
Aramide didn’t grow up on a farm—but she grew up with real food. Today, she stewards a small but mighty farm that feeds culture, connection, and care.
