Moose Meadows Farm is a home based business and markets a wide variety of products. All of the products produced by the farm are produced with utmost amount of pride as quality is deemed number one. The following is a list of products:

FREE RANGE NATURAL EGGS


Moose Meadows Farm eggs are produced by FREE RANGE "ladies" who are of a variety of types and given the option of going out daily. Our eggs, although not graded, are sorted and mixed by size. The yolk colour is indicative of what the birds are eating.... 100% natural, vegetable based pellets, grain (wheat, oats, barley and corn), vegetables, fruit and in the snow free months a mix of natural seeds and grasses.

The benefits of purchasing local free range eggs are the following:
* they can be considered more environmentally friendly as they are typically from local sources;
* by purchasing local products, you are contributing to the local economy;
* the eggs are fresher
* the chickens are able to eat a diet closer to their natural diet - this includes bugs and fresh greens;

* the chickens are able to exhibit "normal" behaviours resulting in less stress;
* the chickens get sunlight, fresh air, and other things that contribute to a healthier animal;
* the chickens have more mentally stimulating lives; surely something they appreciate

Our eggs are available at the farm gate (house) or by giving us a call.
PRICE: $4.00 / DOZ. (effective November 1, 2009)
Note: We often do not have enough eggs to meet the demand.

syrups

DANDELION BLOSSOM SYRUP / JELLY

This 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:
SYRUP: 375ml; PRICE: $10.50

JELLY: 250ml; PRICE: $6.50


CRABAPPLE SYRUP

This 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.
SYRUP: $10.50
JELLY: 250ml; PRICE: $6.50

 


FIREWEED BLOSSOM SYRUP / JELLY

This 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
JELLY: 250ml; PRICE: $7.00

CODE: RS; $12.50


WILD SASKATOON BERRY SYRUP

This 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 SYRUP

Rosehips 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). Labour intensive to pick, finicky to process and long used by local First Nations people, the Rosehips are picked after the first autumn frost when they are in full colour. 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
