Markets & products
Marij and Arnold sell their products on Wednesdays at the All Organic Market in Salmon Arm (2pm - 5pm) and at Farmers' Markets in Vernon (Thursday 8am - 1pm), in Enderby (Friday 8am - noon) and in Armstrong (Saturday 8:30-12:30). Sometimes you can find us at the Farm and Crafts Market in Revelstoke. We also set up our booth at many other events such as Creative Chaos in Vernon and the Garlic Festivals in Grindrod and Revelstoke(see calendar).
Our products can also be ordered by phone or email.
We only sell products that we believe in and that we are really enthusiastic about!
The bee products are made by our own bees. Most of the eggs we use for our products come from our own back yard chickens. The herbs and most of the vegetables come from our vegetable garden. The ingredients we have to get somewhere else are all organic and / or from farmers we trust. We put a lot of effort in obtaining our ingredients local. The mushrooms are locally picket in the beautiful North-Okanagan woods and fields.
When you're traveling through the province it's worth it to visit local Farmers'Markets. More informaton about locations and times ca be found on the BC Farmers'Market Trail website.

Dutch Baking
Did you know that the word 'cookie' is derived from the Dutch word 'koekje'? And not without reason!
We offer a wide range of Dutch pastry. It all began with the gevulde koeken. About 5 years ago Arnold missed his favorite cookies so much that he decided to make them himself. After the gevulde koeken came the speculaas and coconut macaroons and of course the stroopwafels. We also found that using ORGANIC INGREDIENTS (especially organic spices) added so much to the taste! They may cost a little more than the cookies you find in the store, but you'll find that it's worth it! Gevulde speculaas (almond paste filled speculaas).
Not only in the 'Sinterklaas' season! |

Energy Bites and other Healthy treats
The Energy Bites that Marij makes are all VEGAN, GLUTEN FRIENDLY and made from ORGANIC INGREDIENTS but most of all full of energy!
We offer many different tastes; savory or sweet (no sweetener used), with berries, nuts, chocolate or peanut butter. The latest flavours are made with turmeric, and matcha tea. Healthy and tasty! Upon request we also have some delicious KETO bites: low-carb and high-fat. We also sell coconut-tahini squares (sugar-free, dairy-free and gluten-friendly) prepared with either honey or maple syrup (VEGAN) |

Honey
Only for a few months we sell our honey at our booth, starting in the second week of September (after the IPE).
Right now we've got 4 bee yards or apiaries. We have 3 hives on the flat roof of our house in the McLeod subdivision, 6 hives at Debbie and Alan Clarke's Willow Tree Farm (Spallumcheen), 3 hives at Gabriele and Wolf Wesle's Green Croft Gardens in Grindrod and 13 hives at the Shuswap River Ranch near Kingfisher. The latter 2 bee yards are located on organic farmsWe even expect the honey to have a hint of mint because of the fields of mint that surround the bee yard.
Read more about our bees and where they get their nectar on their own page. Also read about how honey can benefit your health.

Coffee & Tea
The coffee we sell at the market complies with all of the requirements we mentioned above. The Frog Friendly Wild Coffee (beyond) organic, locally roasted in Canoe and as a bonus: it's good for the people who pick the coffee beans in the Cloud Forest in Mexico. O, and the coffee tastes great as well, especially when brewed like we do!

The tea we sell at the Enderby and Armstrong Farmers' market is also organic and local. It's made with much love by Sandy Doll from the Good Little Tea Co. While we brew the tea for you, Sandy Doll, or her mom sell the dry tea at most of the markets we attend. You can choose from many varieties: From black tea to green tea, different tastes, good for your tummy and always delicious and soothing!

Bread
For about 5 years Arnold has baked sourdough bread for ourselves. Every now and then, and on demand, we take bread to the market. Just like our other products they're made with organic ingredients. At this moment we offer white sourdough bread, white sourdough bread with onions and whole wheat bread with seeds and soy beans.

Although we're dedicated to work as clean as possible and put lots of effort in preparing and keeping regular and gluten-free pastry separate, both products are made in the same kitchen. Therefore we advice customers with coeliac disease or related diseases NOT to eat our products!
