Hear from those who have experienced this hidden gem.

“Amazing gem!! A little piece of history preserved! What a wonderful place to visit and you get to see the inner working ls of the mill!”
Rob Fryer
“Very enjoyable to see a actual mill and it's inner workings. It is also set on a beautiful location along, of course, a creek! This place has much more to offer than just a step back in time. They also have a lovely restaurant where they craft very fine, locally sourced cuisine. What a pleasure it is to be around such friendly, helpful staff. I can't wait to go back.”
Dean Duniece
“Such a charming place for a stop when traveling to or from Osoyoos, with a museum and territory to walk around and learn about the life of first settlers of this region.”
Anna Boltenko
“We visited during the autumn fest 2024. They did a good job decorating the place. Beautiful flowers, nice grist mill. There are so many kinds of apples in their garden. Local people seem to enjoy the festival activities. There's a very limited choice of food though.”
Linh Tran
“Incredible heritage site with a functioning grist mill as the crown jewel. We had an amazing tour from the guy who did much of the restoration. One of the coolest places in BC!”

The Pantry Share Program

What’s a Pantry Share? It’s like a farm box, but for preserves. Sign up today and let us help you fill your pantry with delicious scratch-made provisions including pickles, jams, jellies, chutneys, mustards and more.

We’re really excited about our 2026 Pantry Share and hope you’ll be a part of it!

What will I get with my Pantry Share membership?

Every season, we make a wide range of preserves and related food products (including Christmas goodies!) and you’ll have access to all them as part of your share. For every $100 in your share, you can expect to receive an average of ten jars (110mL jars for jellies, 375mL and 500mL for pickles, and 190mL for almost anything else) of product across all of our kinds of products. Last year we made about 15 varieties of pickles, about 30 varieties of jams and jellies plus an assortment of BBQ sauces, salsas, mustards, chutneys and more.

  • A pantry full of products made from peak-of-the-season ingredients. Because the ingredients come from our own heritage gardens or the gardens and orchards of our neighbours, there’s no need to pick soft fruit early for shipping or to store produce for long periods in a cooler. It’s picked when it’s ripe and processed right away to preserve its flavour and essential goodness.
  • We love to share no-longer-familiar ingredients in wonderfully old-fashioned recipes. We have a large seed collection of rare and unusual heritage veggies as well as more than sixty heritage apple trees on site, and we love to use each ingredient to its best advantage. We also know where to track down hard-to-find items like quince, sour cherries and more.
  • A discount from our retail prices. In appreciation for your up-front contribution, we will extend a 15% discount off the retail price of our products to share members. This discount is provided to you as added value to your share. For example, if you purchase a $200 share, you get $230 in share value.
  • Access to exclusive small-batch products. Every year, we experiment with all sorts of unusual and old-fashioned recipes. Pantry Share members will get exclusive access to these treasures.
  • Supporting the preservation of agricultural heritage and small local farmers. Getting your money before the growing season starts allows us to properly invest in our own gardens and contract with local farmers to grow and harvest exactly what we need while they’re still planning for their season. It reduces their costs (and stress level) and helps us ensure we get exactly what we need, when we need it. Best of all, we aim to be as transparent as we can about the farmers we’re working with and the positive impact our pantry share has on their operation.
  • This Pantry Share program is inspired by other CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs, particularly the farm box programs here in the Similkameen Valley, as well as Skipper Otto’s Community Supported Fishery in Vancouver. We firmly believe in connecting people with where their food comes from.
  • Buying a share gives you a voice when we’re planning our preserves for 2026; if there’s something in particular you think we should make for your pantry, you’ll have lots of chance to give us your input. If you have a favourite recipe, we’d love that too!
  • If you find you’re going through your share faster than expected, you can always top-up your share with more money at any time. Please note that share top-ups will only get a 10% discount off retail instead of 15%.
  • The preserves available at each pick-up will be determined by what has been seasonally-available up to that point. You won’t see peaches or apples until fall, for example. See the chart below for a rough idea of what’s available to us when.
