Location 

Our growing location in the Saskatchewan Palliser Triangle is some of the most productive land in the world. Nutrient rich soil and a semiarid climate allows for the production of pulse, cereal, oil and specialty crops. Dispersing production acres in this area reduces environmental risk providing consistent supply of our food ingredient products. At BloK Ingredients we use this resource respectively, contracting with Professional Growers following protocols to produce sustainable ingredients.
