In 2014, 15,000 wasabi seedlings had been planted in three greenhouses, which would be harvested in 15 months' time. Profits from the wasabi farm are planned to help expand an existing organic community garden and a 70-hectare oyster farm pilot project in the Sooke Basin. The main market for wasabi is in its medicinal qualities, which is consistent with First Nations traditions of using plants to heal."Wasabi makes T'Sou-ke greener", Salish Sea Sentinel, June 30, 2014.
