New Year ~ New hOMe ~ New Owners Home Grown has moved to Salt Spring Island 💚It has been over a year in the making, and the time has finally come…..In perfect alignment with the Year of the Wood Snake, hOMe Grown is transforming and growing into a new skin! I am beyond excited and proud to introduce the new Owners/Parents of our Baby! The decision for us to pass on hOMe Grown Living Foods was not an easy one. We have nurtured this incredible Farm Based business since it’s inception in 2008 from the humble beginnings in our old Tool Shed.This evolution started when Emily, our Queen of Production shared that she was ready to move on. Emily’s daughter was graduating from high school and she had been at the ‘School of hOMe Grown’ those entire 12 years! I started pondering what could be next for us and for hOMe Grown. Emily was not replaceable, so it would have to look VERY DIFFERENT!I had been spending time in the kitchen with my dear friend Kari Mathieson, head chef at Stowel Lake Farm . We first met when she was heading off the the kitchen at the Saltspring Center of Yoga over 20 years ago and have been Catering Sisters ever since. Over the years, Kari joined me in the kitchen in Mexico and Tofino when I hosted Milagro Retreats. (2002 – 2016)Kitchen Dancing 🌟When I shared what was brewing at hOMe Grown Living Foods , a new collaoration started brewing. Kari took initiative and suggested the move to Saltspring Island. With a LEAP of faith and an enormous amount of work, we are PASSING THE TORCH 💚In collaboration with her partner Mike, an EPIC Finishing Carpenter and support from their son Tashin, Kari has dreamed this incredible new 2.0′ Sprouting Kitchen into reality for hOMe Grown Living Foods to grow and transform into the next chapter.The 2.0 Facility 💚I will stay involved, helping Kari along the way while I birth my new project SHANI’S KITCHEN. This is the hOMe of my LOVE of Catering and Sharing Recipes. It has been a magnificent journey and I could not have envisioned a better new Momma Bear and location for hOMe Grown Living Foods.FUN FACT ~ Willy grew up on Saltspring Island….hOMe Grown Living Foods is going back to his roots as part of this next chapter! 💚In Health & Abundance,Shani Cranston ~ Pioneer of hOMe Grown Living FoodsCatering at the Tofino Botanical Gardens Share if you enjoy!
