Our company’s story began in the mid-1980s with James McInnes’ vision to produce and promote natural fertilizers and soil amendments. Since 1989, McInnes has been manufacturing and marketing natural fertilizers and amendments, and we have been incorporated since 1991. At a time when environmental concerns had little public impact, we were already convinced of the importance of offering an alternative to chemical products to restore and enrich our soils. Today, we are proud to be the oldest natural fertilizer manufacturing company in Quebec.
Since July 1st, 2025, McInnes has been part of the Acti-Sol family, a leading Quebec-based company in the production and marketing of natural fertilizers. Together, we can offer a complete solution to gardeners and producers. Acti-Sol has set an ambitious goal to expand its brand and products across Canada, aiming to be the go-to natural solution for those who care for soil health. The addition of McInnes products supports that vision.
