Episode 19: Tina Willard-Stepen of Seeds Food Market.

Tina Willard-Stepen has been operating Seeds Food Market in Cumberland for almost 5 years. This "Green Grocery" was the first true grocery store in the Village in many years. With a mix of organic, local and natural products as well as family favorites and comfort food, the staff at Seeds strives to offer something for everyone, at competitive prices.  Seeds is a great place to find Tannadice Farms products as well as Island Bison, Pattison Farms, Natural Pastures Cheeses, and many niche products that my be tough to find in a larger shop. Thanks for being a wonderful guest, neighbour and for having such a strong community spirit Tina.

This episode of Edible Valley is brought to you by Island Bison. The Vance family of Black Creek graciously donated Bison back ribs to the Edible Valley test kitchen. With farming practices dedicated to grass feeding the animals with no anti-biotics or hormones, Bison is one of the most healthy meats that one can eat. Visit Island Bison on Hamm road in Black Creek, or at the Comox Valley Farmers Market. Thank you Mark and family for helping to keep this local food podcast alive.
