Where Does The Food Come From?
For the past 16 years I have been wandering Saskatchewan in search of sustenance . Originally it was for my children but now it is also for the people that frequent our market in Moose Jaw and the ones who order online from us.
I am forever searching for our food source while keeping my values at heart. My values are to always do our best, continually improve and remember my deal breakers. I say that because it is impossible to eat perfectly but we can always do our best and discover what our deal breakers are.
This has led me to push for foods that are more natural with no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial preservatives or flavourings, no trans fats or anything unnaturally altered. Nature has given us such an abundance of flavours to eat from here in Saskatchewan. I am constantly in awe of what is being grown and produced here.
We started out working with one farm, then two then three. Now we work with over 200 farms throughout the seasons to market, develop products, distribute, advertise, ship/deliver and make their products accessible to customers.
These 200 farmers are a collection of local Gardeners, Hutterite Colonies, backyard gardeners, commercial local businesses, chefs, fermentistas, farmers and artisans. See our complete list of suppliers below.
Every business we work with is chosen for being in line with our philosophies of natural, wholesome food. Many of them make special products just for us with our chosen ingredients such as using butter over margarine, honey, sugar or maple syrup over corn syrup and ordering their meats from a small farm such as ABC Heritage Meats at Rush Lake. We suggest them to producers using meat for their products.
Is The Food Organic?
Let’s start with what organic means. In the food industry, you can only say a food is organic if it has gone through a certification process that says it is organic.
Some of the foods we have are certified organic.
Produce: Not sprayed, but most is not certified organic.
Eggs: Some farmers are using organic feed or a portion of it. See our egg sheet below.
Meats: We do not have any organic meats right now. Many are grass fed and finished on unsprayed land.
Grains, legumes, flours, seeds, wild rice: All are certified organic.
ABOUT: Saskatchewan Cottage Industry Laws For Selling Food To The Public
“It’s our hope that these changes will make things easier for existing home-based food businesses, as well as entrepreneurs that may want to start a new one,” Duncan said. “I want to thank the Saskatchewan residents who brought this idea forward to our government.” (Health Minister Dustin Duncan)
Produce: The food is grown in old fashioned gardens (and some high tech greenhouses) that do not use harsh sprays or fertilizers.
They use manure, compost, row covers, permaculture, biodiverse principles, and alternative methods to grow with nature.
We purchase produce from colonies, Clean Spade Urban Farm, John George, Don Mitchell, Treasure Valley Markets and multiple small home gardeners. We call the small home gardeners produce “neighbourhood veggies” as it is usually right in town here. We verify that they all do not spray.
Recently we have seen the uprise of greenhouses in Saskatchewan and are happy to say we get greenhouse veggies from Hydrogreens, Golden Eden Produce and Floating Gardens.
Meats & Eggs: the meats we bring in are cage and antibiotic free. They are also hormone free (note that hormones are illegal for all poultry and pork in Canada). Ruminants are all free ranged. For chickens we offer both ethically raised pastured chicken and eggs as well as barn raised/free-run.
