Apple Island Naturals is located in Golden BC and specializes in natural, cruelty-free personal care products.

I have a background in health care and a love of nature and animals which inspires me to create human-friendly and environmentally-conscienscious goods.

I like the feeling I am offering people good food ... fresh and wholesome ... at a reasonable price. We offer home baked goods – artisan breads, mmm warm from the oven - gourmet cookies, soft and gooey - Focaccia, perfect for your BBQ and a glass of wine. From our greenhouse an array of perennials, garden transplants and annual flowers are always available.The Market experience isn't just about buying and selling it's about the people - the interaction - the music - the experience. I like to feel as if my booth at the Farmer's Market is an extension of what I live and breathe - my farm.

Clay has given me a means for my artistic expression and a personal connection with people.

The pots that I make are functional – for everyday use.
This approach has let me artistically survive and continue to pursue my passion, clay.

With over 18 years gardening experience in Parson, B.C. we offer a wide variety of fresh, naturaly-grown produce.

Over the years we've strived to enhance our soil using only local organic matter. Our Garden is entirely pesticide-free without the use of any chemical fertilizers.

Everything is hand-picked the night before, or the morning of the market ensuring absolute freshness. For the 2011 Farmers Market season we will have a continuous supply of Salad Greens and herbs, and as the summer goes on each week will introduce something new and exciting.

The constant flow of inspiration that this beautiful valley provides makes it easy to understand why I`m compelled to share with others the unbelievable vistas and scenery I come upon as I excitedly explore the endless wilderness that surrounds us.

Photos are presented in a selection of matted frames in a wide variety of sizes. All of the images I offer are printed and framed in my home studio, using the highest quality papers, canvas and inks.

I am a jewellery maker/silversmith working exclusively with precious metals and precious and semi-precious stones.

We started to raise Alpacas 4 Years ago and I love to knit and crochet all kinds of different winter ware with their beautiful Wool.

Also using my second passion I like to create Jewellery to Accent the Alpaca products.

Wood turning is my passion.

Each piece is a gift waiting to be opened.

& Market Garden – boasts an amazing selection of produce, naturally grown on her family’s 4 acre farm located in Brisco, just south of Golden.

Vegetables are harvested the night before Market day and brought directly to the Market – guaranteed fresh! Organic fertilizers coupled with a pesticide-free practice result in healthy and flavoursome vegetables and fruits. Mouth-watering strawberries and greenhouse tomatoes grown on the farm are much sought after by market goers. Other favourites include preserves, jams, jellies and pickles (people line up for her ‘sweet & hot’ pickles).

My macro photos of springtime wildflowers were clear, colourful, competent, but they didn’t reflect the spirit and energy of the real thing.  So I spent some time with my flowers, playing with them outside the constraints of photography.  Thus were born Springtime Swirls.

Springtime Swirls are printed on museum grade, poly-cotton blend, fine art canvas, free of optical brighteners and designed for the ultra chrome ink set that I am using.  They are varnished and stretcher framed.  The non yellowing water-based varnish protects against moisture and abrasion. Spring is easily my favourite season of the year, and I feel fortunate to live in the Canadian Rockies where this season lasts from May through August, wending its way from the valleys to the Alpine meadows.

Once customers have tasted our honey they come back year after year to buy our high-quality product.

Our bees collect nectar from 40 different wildflowers found in the valley bottom and the mountain hillsides – where there is no spraying of chemicals.

To make this unique and flavoursome honey the bees work hard.
The lifetime work (in summer 6 weeks) of 556 bees produces 1 pound of honey.
