About Us
Wildwood Acres Okanagan was created as part of a long time dream of creating balance in life. Having had the privilege of working to advance the vision of other organizations as an executive, the decision to take the risk and give dedicated energy to our own vision was a scary step but when your passion starts to shout at you, you have to listen and then it seems less like bravery and more like destiny.
When we bought our beautiful property in the mountains of the majestic Okanagan Valley, BC, we knew we had found our own little piece of paradise and we proceeded to build this dream into a reality. Our property has abundant life and resources in soil, in plants and in peaceful yet powerful energy. In 2020, we saw that people wanted choices, they wanted options for their health and we were no different. We wanted to find a way to share practices and find a way that traditional medicines and self care approaches could support this desire. Our vision is to create wellness for everyone, wellness for us, our 4 acres, and our 4 puppies and all of the plants and animals yet to come. Combining our passions for creating, for wellness, food, entertaining and hosting, the plan for Wildwood Acres Okanagan is holistic and ever evolving.
Quite honestly, it all started with pine needle tea. We knew we had this abundant life and were working out where to start when again, it was right there not quite shouting but certainly gently guiding us to notice where our start line was. A friend suggested we start harvesting our pine needles for tea as it was coming into cold and flu season and the rich characteristics of pine needle tea with its very high Vitamin C content was something people needed in the pandemic world that we are all living in. So we focused and crossed our fingers and got started! From the creating of the brand, the development of an initial product line of 9 beautiful items, to packaging and distribution, the education began in the retail and distribution world as well as learning the holistic wellness needs of people looking for a way to boost their health and improve their mental health.
Our unique wellness products of teas and self care items as well as home wellness including smudging and energy balancing products are all developed here in the woods, harvested and created by hand. Each item is created with genuine intention and with the thought of giving you something to support your wellness journey while honoring Mother Earth and ensuring ethical practices in all that we do.
From pine needle and cedar tea and many different products that contain our beautiful signature mountain grown lavender, our Indigenous heritage is woven into all that we do. We have your health in mind when we look to create each and every product or experience. Our experiences such as culinary adventures through long table dinners and genuine and unique BnB opportunities out here in the woods are one of a kind and will be available starting in 2022. We will be looking for opportunities to prepare family favourites for the dinner table, build recipes and tips and hints to make your own culinary efforts extraordinary.
In the woods, in the mountains, it just doesn’t get any better than this!
We harvest what we grow and what we don’t, we source locally wherever possible and partner with the farmers around us.
We love our land and it shows in everything we do.
