Bridging the gap between Local Farms and Customers with Jaye Siegmueller
Jaye Siegmueller loves plant medicine, the outdoors, meditation, and yoga. She is a momma of a 17-year-old hockey player, so you might see her cheering in the local hockey rinks! Her commitment to local food runs deep and she truly believes that the people's connection to the earth starts with their connection with their food. She loves waste reduction and started the first zero-waste store in the Okanagan. She and her sister also are the founders of Bottle None (www.bottlenone.ca)
Farm Bound was sprouted from a Permaculture Design Course. Students were challenged to find their passion that is supported by the 12 permaculture principles and that harnesses their strengths. They are not farmers but they have a passion for local food and community. They grew with a passion to start a service that bridges the gap between local farms and customers. Small towns are their specialty!
Not everyone in our province has access to quality organic food year round. Farm Bound can help by doing the work for you. They visit farms and develop partnerships to deliver only the best and most sustainably produced food. Doing whatever it takes to get you local and organic food efficiently is their priority!
Farm Bound offers sustainably produced, local and organic food. By supporting local farmers and producers they build your connections back to the roots. they specialize in amazing Okanagan produce, but offer other great food and goods produced throughout our province and beyond. In the winter months they keep the variety alive with certified organic produce from Washington, Oregon, California and Mexico.
