About Us

The History of Foster’s

John Foster was an enterprising Irish Immigrant who saw an opportunity to grow and market Creeping Red Fescue in the Peace River Region. With humble beginnings in 1952, Foster’s Seed & Feed has since grown into the largest privately owned supplier & processor of Creeping Red Fescue in Western Canada, supplying North American markets & beyond.

Now in our third generation of ownership we continue to supply between 10 to 20 million pounds annually into the turf grass markets. We work closely with producers in our area and continue to build relationships with long time customers and wholesalers in the seed industry worldwide.”
