DANDELION BLOSSOM SYRUP / JELLYThis syrup/ jelly is produced using the beautiful yellow blossoms of the common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) collected from our U-Pick Blossom Fields in May. Introduced to North America in earlier times, dandelions are typically considered an aggressive, weedy species. Dandelion is from "dent-de-lion", or lion's tooth, in reference to its leaves. The plant is entirely edible - the leaves as greens (in salads) and the root as a vegetable or a coffee substitute. The syrup and jelly have a delicate flavour that resembles honey - it is lovely in tea, on warm biscuits, ice cream or pancakes.CODES:

The jelly is lovely on warm, buttered toast or can be used to compliment both meat and / or vegetables.

FIREWEED BLOSSOM SYRUP / JELLYThis syrup / jelly is produced using the flower blossoms of the fireweed (also known as Rosebay Willowherb and "asperge" by the French Canadian voyageurs. Common on disturbed areas (roadsides, railways, and burns) - hence the common name. The entire plant is edible and the leaves high in vitamin C and can be used as a tea. The stalk, in early spring, can be steamed and is similar to asparagus. The flower produces ample nectar, which results in an excellent honey, and in this case, a syrup or jelly. We hope you enjoy this lovely unique product with a touch of the wild!SYRUP: 375ml.; PRICE: $10.50

WILD SASKATOON BERRY SYRUPThis syrup is produced using the purple - black berries of the Saskatoon bush (Amelanchier alnifolia). Collected from the surrounding forest and fields, the berries have been highly regarded by many First Nation groups for many years. Saskatoons have reach their supremacy as a fruit on the Canadian prairies and many horticulturalists have developed many varieties for commercial and garden us. The syrup has a superbe flavour and accompanies many things well - ice cream, waffles, and pancakes. We hope you enjoy this syrup from the wilds of British Columbia's fields and forests.SYRUP: 375ml; PRICE: $10.50 |
WILD ROSEHIP SYRUPRosehips are the fruit of the rose bush and the ones used in making this jelly are from the indigenous shrub, the Prickly Rose (Rosa acicularis).

This syrup is packaged in 375 ml bottles decorated with 2 labels. We hope that you enjoy this culinary adventure which is an excellent natural source of Vitamin C.SYRUP: 375ml; PRICE: $12.50 |
