Shane & Emma Rozeveld, Owners & Growers

The farmers and founders behind Aslan Organics. They bring together a lifetime of hands-on experience — Shane growing up working on his family's farm, and Emma learning alongside her father in a massive vegetable garden that steadily built rich, healthy soil over decades.

Together, they started Aslan Organics in 2017 at the Yarrow Ecovillage in Chilliwack, British Columbia where they sold produce at farmer’s markets in Vancouver, Abbotsford & Chilliwack and established their Farm Share program.

After moving to Ontario in 2020, they re-established the farm in Camlachie and began serving the community through the Sarnia Farmers’ Market and their Farm Share program. For several years they farmed on rented ground, steadily building their customer base and refining their growing systems. In 2024, they purchased the farm at 3107 Michigan Line — a 50-acre property with a creek running through the back of it. This is where Aslan Organics is now putting down roots for the long term and growing food for hundreds of families across Lambton County.

Today, Shane and Emma continue to work side by side in the fields, greenhouse, wash station, and market, focused on growing fresh, flavourful vegetables while building a resilient local food system for the community they call home. Their goal has always been to grow nourishing food in a way that cares for the land and the people who eat from it.

About Us

Shane and Emma Rozeveld

I’m holding an art project I did in the 3rd grade. It’s a simple picture, drawn on white paper with what looks like dull crayons. But on the page is a drawing of a beautiful country scenery, with a lovely two story house and barn, and a big green tractor, my 3rd grade self driving with confidence and waving a huge “hello!” (Seriously, you need to see how oversized this hand is.) Written in grade 3 ledger by that dull crayon is “I want to be a farmer when I grow up.”

It’s so interesting to watch your entire life head in a certain direction, to suddenly wake up and realize that your whole life had somehow been pulling you to this exact moment and place. Every day we wake, we get the privilege of working toward that pull, that calling to be an Agrarian. We greet every challenge of this farm, of growing food without harmful chemicals or sterilizing bug sprays. We grow food with joy in our hearts knowing this is exactly what we’re called to be doing.

And so, we refine our craft of growing food one day at a time. We honestly can’t do any of this without saying thank you to You, our Farm Family. Thank you to this community that supports us, that keeps our dream alive every time you purchase something from our farm.

It’s magical. It’s Eden.
