OUR HISTORY
Horizon Seeds was started in 2006 with Rick & Ang Van Laecke (husband and wife). At that time the business model was to produce small pilot seed lots for export in the wholesale market. It wasn’t long after that we decided to create our own brand for retail in Ontario. In 2007 we launched 5 commercial Horizon Seeds hybrids.
Our company has always been family owned and operated, joined by son Curtis Van Laecke and his wife Jessica Van Laecke.
Today we sell over 40 different hybrids across Canada through dealers or distributors within BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.
