This month we highlight one of our favourites, the always-popular hazelnut. Hazelnuts are a very common choice in confectionery and baking applications.

The month of May has us thinking about flowers, and none more so than the ageless beauty that is the fig, although the blossom is inside the fruit!

As a direct-to-consumer wholesale distribution company, we make it attractive and economical for our customers to buy in bulk case lots, an easy way to help eliminate the wasteful use of materials and resources in the production of retail-sized packaging.

Once again we have closed up shop for the year! The warehouse is silent and our hard-working team has taken off on a variety of holiday adventures. Most have gone home to their families, but hopefully they’re all getting outside and enjoying that beautiful Okanagan winter sunshine! The time off is very much deserved.
The warehouse is alive with the pitter-patter of work boots, the swoosh of our aprons and hairnets, the hum of the equipment and the chatter of our valued staff. As we close in on the end of our final Harvest Sale of the year, our staff, friends and families have once again gathered for our… Read more »
