Organically grown herb, fruit and vegetable farm in the heart of Gabriola Island, BC.
Just a bit of Our Story:
My family relocated from Errington, BC to beautiful Gabriola in 2016, where we landed after 20 years of answering ‘the call’ to get over there. We finally did it! Since 2002, the goal of AngelStar Farm has always been about sustainability and our motto is to know exactly where your food comes from, and we wanted a bigger space to achieve that. I think about 5 acres is pretty acceptable for the time being. :-)
As a proud Ukrainian Canadian, and at least 3rd generation farmer (ok we skipped one with my parents) that lived and breathed farming, gardening, preserving, foraging, I am taking farming to the next level. Just like I grew up having gardens and learning about nose to nail, farm to fork eating, my hope is many others will adopt that way of thinking about food too. Culturally, food was a central part of life. And growing your own and certainly knowing where your food came from, was crucial. On some extra cultural notes, our new banner is blue and yellow, the colours of the Ukrainian flag and symbols that pervade our proud heritage. The blue of course represents the sky and heavens above, while the yellow represents the fields, abundant wheat and crops. And the sunflower is a symbol of warmth, sun and unity, with their heads always pointing to the sky and the heavens. In my opinion, humanity can be the bridge between the heavens and the earthly fields below, and be the creator of these abundant things called food. And that’s the whole point of why we do what we do.
Being a Naturopathic Doctor / Acupuncturist and Medical Herbalist takes care of much of our day jobs for now, but there’s always time in our calendar for growing things, even at night!. It’s our Heart and Soul - period. Which is why we even go outside in our pyjamas and talk to the plants, always checking in to see how they are doing.
Our Vision:
Our larger vision for the farm will include not only organically grown produce, but many varieties of herbs, plants, both medicinal and culinary, and our special herb and flower bundles. Also, I will be carrying an array of preserved products - jams & jellies, vinegars, herb & spices, herbed mustards and vinegars, as well as Ukrainian frozen food such as pyrogies and cabbage rolls for sale. The even larger plan is to host retreats or small educational workshops on herbalism and how to work with them much more deeply in your life, other than sprinkling them into your food. Stay tuned as the farm grows on this beautiful Island called Gabriola.
