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.SYRUP: 375ml; PRICE: $12.50JELLY: 250ml; PRICE: $6.50 |
CRABAPPLE SYRUP / JELLYThis syrup is produced using the juice extracted from hardy domestic apple trees (Malus pumila Mill.) and / or crabapple trees that are able to grow and withstand the cold, lengthy winters of British Columbia's Cariboo Country. The fruit are collected late summer and the juice extracted. The result is a lovely pink to amber coloured jelly packaged in 250 ml jars complete with labels. 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: $12.50 |
HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY SYRUP / JELLYThis syrup is produced using the juice extracted from the wild, indigenous Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum edule). Highbush Cranberry, also called Squashberry and Mooseberry, is a Non Timber Forest Product (NTFP). It was an important food for many First Nation groups and continues to be for over-wintering bird species as the berries remain on the bushes well into winter. Boxes of Highbush Cranberries were consiered a prestigious gift and the berries were often eatern at important feasts. Although Highbush Cranberries have a flavour similar to farmed cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos), the two bushes are unrelated.

WILD SASKATOON BERRY SYRUP / JELLYThis 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: $12.50 |
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).

HAWTHORNE BERRY SYRUPThis syrup is made from berries collected from the Hawthorne tree (Crataegus oxycantha ), a common deciduous tree or shrub growing in North America, Europe and Asia. It is also known as the "Mayflower" or "Maybush". The plant is a member of the family Rosaceae, and has thorny branches which sport beautiful pink or white flowers in the spring which develop into small apple-like fruit that ripens bright red in the fall. Hawthorn berries have been known as a natural heart tonic for centuries and has even been called "food for the heart. In addition to bioflavinoids, hawthorn contains cardiotonic amines, polyphenols, and is a source of Vitamin C, the B vitamins, and many other nutrients. The syrup is simply delicious on pancakes, waffles, crepes, and / or scones.SYRUP: 375ml; PRICE: $12.50 |
