We are the Goerzen family-longtime residents of Maple Ridge, B.C. and the heart behind Deep Roots Family Farm. With four boys ranging in age from teens to thirties, our roots in this community run deep. Having lived in Maple Ridge for decades, we've watched our family grow and thrive in this beautiful city. In 2013, our lives took an unexpected turn when one of our sons, at 17 years old, was diagnosed with a brain tumour. That season of hardship gave us time to reflect on what truly matters-faith, family, community, and the precious gift of life.

Deep Roots Family Farm was born not just as a name, but as a reflection of who we are. It represents our journey of digging deep in difficult times, being anchored in faith, and finding joy in life's simple, meaningful moments. Today, our son Jesse is healthy and thriving. Our family, now 10 of us strong, includes our oldest son Elijah, his wife Sarah, and their growing family of almost 4 kids. We're grateful we still get to share life together on one beautiful piece of property.

Three years ago, we moved from the property where we founded Deep Roots Family Farm (in central Maple Ridge) to our current location which is now east Maple Ridge. Elijah, who is passionate about gardening and farming, is often the welcoming face you'll meet when visiting us...his warmth and enthusiasm are contagious, and so we look forward to welcoming you to our little corner of the world where we can share our new place of solace.
