flora & farmer

Delightfully daring preserves that your grandma never made.Passionately created by a sprightly winnipeg woman preserving heritage cooking traditions.

flora & farmer creates delightfully daring preserves your grandma never made! We specialize in unique, epicurean preserves created with high quality ingredients and no chemical preservatives, cheap fillers, or flavour extracts. Just real food. One of few companies in Canada to use a reduction method rather than adding thickeners and outrageous amounts of refined sugar, our spreads are cooked down

and intensely fruity with *just enough* sweetener. Each jar contains over 1/2 pound of fruit! Our line of addictive pickles are made with local produce from small farms, and our fermented sauerkrauts and salsa are unpasteurized, vegan, and alive with beneficial bacteria. Originating in 2012, flora & farmer products have grown from farmers markets, to retail store shelves, and now to our very own storefront, Preserve by flora & farmer! Located on the corner of Maryland and Portage in Winnipeg, Mb, Preserve is a vibrant, cozy shoppe that specializes in our full line of preserves as well as exclusively Manitoba made foods, gifts and housewares. We’re proud to now be helping support and cheerlead for over 60 small companies with hundreds of products! Additionally, within our storefront is a large viewing window into flora & farmer’s production facility, where interested customers can take a behind-the-scenes peek at the love going into our jars. �

Visit us at 100B-686 Portage ave, just around the corner from Hildegard’s bakery. Entry is through the bakery or from our doors on Maryland, and parking is available on Portage in front of Hildegard’s, or in the lot across from our big store windows on Maryland (between the Rexall and Tim Hortons). Find out more about Preserve online at www.preservefoods.ca. Hope to see you soon and keep supporting local!

In case you got so excited about my wedding announcement that you missed the rest of my post- MY ONLY MARKET OF THE SEASON IS THIS SUNDAY!!!!
Come visit and pickup a summers worth of fancy spreads and pickled delights!
You’ll need em for trips to the cottage, picnics, and to impress your foodie friends at bbqs and parties!

I’ll have sweet f&f faves prairie celebration, sour cherry & hibiscus, and blueberry Basil, amongst many others! 🍒🍓🫐🥭🍑

Savoury lovers, I’ll have some vinegary bites too- the insanely addictive Lemongrass carrots and I’m making a batch of Indian curry summer squash right now!

This market coincidentally falls on my 14th “accidentiversary”, which was the catalyst for starting flora & farmer, so it feels very satisfying to do this on my annual celebration of beating the grim reaper💀and I’d love you to join me for it!

I’m super excited to spend the day alongside some super cool creative folks, like .the.goods, .cmpny, , and the best local music distro (one of the records in this pic was obtained through them!)

Support your local weirdos! No entry fee!

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve filled y’all in on what I’ve been up to lately and it’s time I share my most exciting news with the instaworld!

I’m getting hitched to my long time man, Tim, this summer! 💍❤️

We’ve known we’re a forever thing for over a decade and figured it’s about time we have a party to celebrate finding love that easily endures and a relationship that still makes us smile everyday, 12 years in.

I love a good diy project, and planning this celebration of love is no small task, so I didn’t start any heirloom tomato plants to sell this year (sorry tomato fans 🌱🍅), and will only be participating in 1 market- find me Sunday at !

In addition to getting engaged, some other big things in my past year of life include my son graduating from college and seeing him bring his art to his first market, multiple camping trips last summer (including travelling all the way to Alberta for one!) a whirlwind weekend trip to Montreal last month, and enjoying my weekdays reppin’ bud for !

Anyhow, back to my only market of the season, - It’s gonna be a super cool lineup of vendors there, and I expect some badass tunes in the background, so come restock your fancy spreads and pickles from this heathen gal while you have the chance! 🍓🍑🥕🫙

📷- (who did a bang-up job making us comfortable in front of the camera and captured some real sweet moments- plus made me look like a real supermodel!)

📣 Fermentation Workshop Announcement! 📣

Hello! I’m still kickin’! Just not on the socials much for the past few months!
I’m gonna update with a “Kim’s life lately” post real soon, but first, I gotta let you know that I have a workshop just 2 weeks from now at The Leaf !

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to ferment, and feel some guidance would be a great start, come to this hands-on workshop!
You’ll learn all about the science and safety of culturing your own produce at home, then make a jar of sauerkraut alongside a pro (that’s me!🤓)

It’s happening in just a couple weeks, so don’t wait to sign up! Find your tickets in my bio!

The plants rule this house now….🪴🪴🪴

Spent last night in my jungle of a kitchen, packing your tomato orders and saying my farewells to these leafy dudes.

A big thank you to everyone that placed an order, supporting my tomato growing obsession! It was a very intense hour, but I’m happy they sold out so quickly! I need a bigger house to better fit all my hobbies and grow more plants!

Looking forward to seeing everyone who placed an order today and releasing those tomato babies into the wild!
