Who we are

Building on many years of urban gardening experience, Cubit's Organics is owned & operated by Laura Watt. She is joined by her helpful husband Ryan Randall who is always ready to photograph the harvest or package seeds & their husky-retriever cross Hazel who is prepared to dig very big holes in the garden when not eating the carrots. In addition to growing their own food & growing their company they are growing their family with the expected arrival of their first child this summer.

Our name

Our name has generated quite a bit of interest so here is some background. I grew up in Toronto on land that was owned by a market farmer named Cubit Sparkhall. It was a large piece of east end Toronto land approximately where Withrow Park is now. Cubit was uniquely named after the cubit, an ancient measurement once used to measure building materials & small amounts of land; a cubit is about 18 inches, measured from the tip of your thumb to your elbow.

The importance of organics

Growing your own organic food is a cost effective & satisfying way to produce your own food. Eating organic produce is one of the best things you can do for yourself & the environment. Starting your growing process with organic seeds is a commitment to creating a healthier & more sustainable environment for us all.
