About Us
Your Partner in Every Peat Project
The story of Aurora Peat Products is one rooted in a legacy of excellence established by Alaska Peat, formerly known as Lakeland Peat Moss. Founded in 2001, Alaska Peat garnered a reputation for providing top-quality professional potting mix products while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. In 2016, the company was acquired by Aurora Innovations and rebranded as Aurora Peat Products. In 2021, Hydrofarm, a publicly traded company, added Aurora Innovations to its portfolio, and Aurora Peat Products is proud to call itself a Hydrofarm Brand.
Today, Aurora Peat Products stands as a beacon of excellence in the peat industry, with a team of dedicated professionals committed to quality, sustainability, and customer service. Located just 100 kilometers northwest of Edmonton, Alberta, our peat resources are carefully managed to ensure minimal impact on the environment while delivering superior products to our customers.

The Black Spruce: Our Symbol.
Sustainability: Our Promise.
The black spruce tree tells the story of the land we protect. It’s a reminder that peat moss takes centuries to form—and seconds to harm. That’s why Aurora Peat Products is committed to harvesting with care, for growers and generations to come.
The Story of Aurora Peat Products and the Black Spruce Tree
Aurora Peat Products is built on a deep respect for the land and the unique ecosystems where premium peat moss is found. The black spruce tree—a hardy evergreen native to Canada’s northern peat bogs—is a symbol of these landscapes. As an indicator species for healthy bog ecosystems, it reflects the company’s dedication to preserving the environments where peat develops naturally over thousands of years.
Originally founded as Alaska Peat Products, the company earned a reputation for producing high-quality professional potting mix products trusted by growers worldwide. In 2016, it became part of the Aurora Innovations family, ensuring its legacy would continue with the same values and commitment to the horticulture industry. The name transitioned to Aurora Peat Products, maintaining its familiar APP identity while aligning with Aurora’s broader mission.
Today, the black spruce tree remains a proud part of the company’s logo, representing Aurora Peat Products’ ongoing commitment to sustainability and stewardship of the land.
