Cree'Ation Farm 2

All product is artisan crafted. Herbs are dried naturally without additives. Jams and conserves are made in small batches with low sugar and certified organic ingredients including natural pectin. Vegetables are grown from our own seed or purchased from certified organic seed sellers. While working in Kelowna for a fruit production company, my jams have been picked up by 4 star restaurants and hotels in Kelowna including Bakeries in the Kootenay region (2013/2014). I have been published in KCTS 9 Cooks (2007). Won 1st and 2nd prize for my recipe submissions in the Kelowna Peach Festival (1992/1993). Developed a wheat free/sugar free muffin formula for testing at the Fraser Institute of Technology that would be safe for Diabetics (1992).
I have worked and managed in the food industry for over 30 years. I am a member of the Cowessess Cree First Nations in Saskatchewan but I grew up working in gardens all my life in the interior of BC where I graduated from planting and harvesting to full canning and preserving by age 12. I have now resided on Vancouver Island for almost 20 years and the biggest challenge for me was learning about the different micro climates, the rain and last but not least, the slug and snail which is very different for me having come from the prairies and the interior of BC. But food growing and production has always been a passion of mine and a way of life. My own children were raised with gardens and worked them as well. I hold a Food Safety Level I certificate. I use only the finest quality of ingredients that I have grown myself or from others who maintain the same high level of standards in sustainable food growing and food safety practices. I will end here by thanking all of you who support local growers and producers.
