My daughter Emrys inspired our family business, Peace Organics, 10
years ago.
Our food is wheat-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, diabetic
friendly
and vegan. Peace products are designed with the environment
in
mind by using 100% biodegradable packaging.
It is our vision
to help keep food local and affordable. Over the years we
have
supplied a diverse market ranging from yoga studios to doctor's offices
around B.C.
I am enthusiastic about local youth, Kaiya & Emrys, working
with me, developing ideas and using critical thinking.
I
would really like to thank our local stores and customers. A
big THANKS to Alex, Richard, Michelle, Bill, Tammy & Bertha.
Without you we would not be where we are today.

My own definition of RAW is
Fresh, Alive, Vibrant, Whole, like us. One thing I have learned on this
journey is it’s never too late to be as happy and healthy as you
want to be. The recipes I will offer will start simple and work
themselves up into gourmet so have fun and enjoy the taste of RAW.
