About the DeRuyck Family
The DeRuyck family has been farming in southern Manitoba for generations, and over the years, the DeRuycks have adapted to changing markets by focusing on organic grain production. Gerry became certified organic in 2000, followed by Dan as the family expanded into supplying organic grains, flours, flakes, and flax directly to bakeries, restaurants, and local businesses. Today, the DeRuyck family continues to grow and process organic products while operating their own grain cleaning and milling facilities. Their farm is built on generations of hard work, innovation, and a commitment to organic farming practices.
