Made on the drumlins of Uxbridge, Ontario 🍁
Strong plants. Resilient soil.
Silifolia is Ontario plant silica — made from wollastonite mine tailings and small-batch processed in repurposed brewery kettles. For local growers and gardeners worldwide.
Why silica
Your plants deserve better defenses
Silicon is a beneficial element that supports how plants build structure and handle stress. Silifolia makes it easy to add — as a liquid or a granular soil amendment.
Stronger
Plant-available silicon builds sturdier cell walls — better structure and less lodging in the field.
Resilient
Research on wollastonite links added silicon to better moisture retention and drought resilience.
Protected
A stronger, silica-reinforced surface is part of a healthy plant’s natural line of defense.
Silifolia is a soil amendment. Field results vary with soil, crop and rate. See our how-it-works page for the research and what we can and can’t claim.
From waste to growth
Free tailings. Repurposed kettles. Local hands.
Our raw material is free wollastonite tailings — a calcium-silicate mineral left over from a nearby Ontario mine. Instead of sitting in a pile, it becomes food for soil.
We process it in semi-new kettles rescued from closed-down microbreweries, giving good equipment a second life. Small batches, made by neighbours, on the drumlin land north of Uxbridge.
It’s a genuinely circular story: mining waste and brewery gear, turned into stronger crops and healthier soil — with the potential to capture carbon as the mineral weathers.
