Earthy OrganicsJohn Abenante and Jeanine Powell of Earthy Organics Farm bought their farm in Fruitvale in 2002, and began selling at farmer's markets in 2008. To John and Jeanine, farming is more than just growing food, it’s a passion, a lifestyle and it’s about contributing to our local sustainability. On top of growing an abundance of fresh, healthy food both for themselves and for their community, they are actively involved in both the Kootenay and Boundary Food Producer's Co-op, and John is also a founding member of the RMMS! Currently Earthy Organics is a certified Transitional 3 organic through the Kootenay Organic Grower's Society, and they look forward to being certified one hundred percent on July 31st! They practice organic farming principles in every aspect of their food production - from growing fruit and veggies, to raising healthy, happy hens for egg production. |
John and Jeanine are always happy to welcome visitors to the farm - and they can also be found every Thursday afternoon at Rossland Mountain Market!

Kootenay Natural Meats & Goat River Farm
|
Kootenay Natural Meats is a smaller than commercial enterprise run by Dale and Wendy McNamar. Home to their Angus based herd as well as lamb, chickens, turkeys, pigs and rabbits, Goat River Farm is a relatively small farm in the beautiful Creston Valley. Dale and Wendy’s philosophy is to ensure that personal care is given to each and every animal, from birth to the final meat product. The McNamar’s are very proud to grow the majority of what they feed their animals right there on their farm and they take great pride in providing a well-raised, healthy, high quality product for local consumption. Their animals receive no added hormones or antibiotics, and they spend the majority of the year grazing in lush pastures. As part of their farming activities, Dale and Wendy also produce a variety of hay and keep bees. They also sell honey, wax, soap and are always thinking of new products and looking for new ways to expand. Kootenay Natural Meats can be found at the Farmer's Markets in Creston, Nelson and Rossland, which is their favorite way to connect with their customers! |

Stone Meadow Gardens
Sarah and Carl Kistner are the friendly faces you'll find at Stone Meadow Gardens, which is a beautiful farm dedicated to growing nutritious food and flowers in the small community of Tarry's outside Castlegar. The Kistner's growing philosophy is firmly rooted in their soil. Getting the biology in their soil active by consistently putting nutrients back into the soil will be key to growing healthy plants, and nutritious rich food. Not only will the Kistner's be growing an abundance of healthy vegetables and herbs, they also plan to grow upwards of 36 varieties of fresh-cut flowers!
Stone Meadow Gardens will be full season vendors at our market for the 2016 season! Come down every Thursday and be sure to say hi! |
