It’s not NYC or Chicago or London, but the south coast of Vancouver Island is pretty darn spectacular, and not a bad spot to stop and mark a birthday. Especially if a happy place features crashing waves and unparalleled ocean views. To my , grateful for all our adventures together, including the miss V. xo ... #vancouverisland #mysticbeach #beautifulbritishcolumbia #jordanriver #juandefucatrail #easyhikelies @pgdiv See more

We are lucky in the lower mainland to be in the midst of berry farms...spent a rare day off at @birakberryfarms u-pick and ate our weight on the drive home. Jam and pie, coming up! So weird to see a plane ... #airplanenerd P id’ed it immediately Beautiful farmland and lovely hosts. ... #yvr #prairiegirl #modernpreserves #northvanlife #eatlocal #localvore @ Richmond, British Columbia See more

Though we have much work to do as a nation in ensuring equal freedoms for all #Canadians , I feel lucky to be a citizen of this fine country. And as someone who travels the world, I am gosh darn proud to represent. May we come together to honour all who live on this land, coast to coast. #yvr #happycanadaday #happybirthdaycanada #northvanlife #canuck #mapleleaf #cake #canadiangirl #prairiegirl #modernpreserves

Dear friends, These are strange times for all of us. My travel loving husband hasn’t flown for months, my school loving daughter is on the longest summer break ever, and I seem to have resumed my full time career in retail management. Drastically different from our life pre-pandemic but then again, the world is drastically different. It is with sadness that I quietly announce that I will no longer be at markets. Should you be a jam lover, please reach out and I will happily... continue to fill your preserve desires. Fresh produce will be at the fab farmers markets per usual, and it’s more important than ever to support local small businesses. I am so appreciative of the love and friendship y’all have shown me Please know I am not going away....you will see more of my sweet family world, and snippets of my work life....anyone need arts & crafts?! Plus travel stuff, Girl Guiding, and a smidge of feminism politics. And I will never cease jam-making, it’s part of my soul and a joy to share. Now to enjoy a Saturday wearing pull on pants and watching cartoons with V. Much love and light, T (Poem by Khalil Gibran) #yvr #localvore #modernpreserves #prairiegirl #northvanlife #itsnotjustfortoast @ Pemberton Heights

Happy birds chirping away as we gear up for another glorious #KitsilanoFM ... 10-2, Sundays. @vanmarkets welcomes back crafters & flower vendors, feed your soul as well as your tummy...the peonies are heavenly.The line looks scary but I promise, it’s fast. Blueberry Lemon back with me, and the last batch of Damson Plum until they reappear in the orchard. The limited edition Pickled Asparagus is moving fast. Shaping up to be a great fruit summer, and new flavours will ...appear as things are in season. #modernpreserves #yvr #localvore #farmersmarket #eatyourveggies #farmfresh #paulsproduce #itsnotjustfortoast #prairiegirl #prairiefolk #northvanlife #kitsilano @ Kitsilano Farmers Market See more
