Maya in Exile Garden

Vancouver, BC - 15th season at our market
In 1986 five Maya families came to Canada as refugees from Guatemala. Nearly a decade later, urged on by a UBC student, these families secured a plot of land at UBC Farm to practice their Mayan farming traditions and keep this millennia-old cultural knowledge alive for future generations. Now, firmly rooted in the Maya in Exile Garden, the ancestral crops known as the “Three Sisters” (corn, beans and squash) are grown along with an ebullient array of flowers and sold at UBC Farm’s Saturday markets. Along with the garden’s output, the goal is to celebrate and share this rich yet relatively unknown Indigenous knowledge and its stories in order to educate local people about true Mayan culture. To that end, members of the Maya in Exile Garden offer public workshops such as Three Sisters in the Kitchen and what is a traditional Maya cooking workshop. Authentic meals utilizing las tres hermanas (The Three Sisters) are featured, such as tamalitos de flor de calabaza con salsa de miltomate (tamales filled with squash flowers served with tomatillo salsa), ensalada tradicional (traditional salad), ejotes en sopa (green beans in soup) and dulce de calabaza (squash dessert). Keep an eye out for these workshops by joining the newsletter and meet the members of the Maya in Exile Garden at the farmers market every Saturday. Proceeds from the garden’s sales help fund a project in Guatemala that develops Mayan girls’ weaving skills to create unique, sellable goods and thus help lift these other families’ incomes and futures.

Our farm is a 5-acre hobby farm situated in Langley, British Columbia's wine region. My husband and I purchased the forested house and land without even a stick of fencing surrounding it in 2010.

The Indian Pantry

Vancouver, BC - 1st season at our market
Our founder and owner Chef Tushar realized that there was a large gap in the spice industry in Vancouver. Most grocery stores had ambiguous ‘curry’ spice mixes lining the aisles but nothing that was an accurate reflection of Indian cuisine. He also saw a misrepresentation regarding the types of Indian food being sold in Canada – nothing that represented various state-based cuisines. All the spice mixes and pickles being sold are either flown over from India and have a huge environmental price tag or it’s likely that they were sitting in large storage warehouses losing freshness until they are sold.

The Indian Pantry wants to introduce you to spices and pickles that have been freshly made and ground, with vegetables and fruits from your community and preserved within a 6 month period.

Udderly Organics Soap

Richmond, BC - 2nd season at our market
At Udderly Organic Soap Co, we craft Goat Milk soaps that nourish naturally.

All of our soaps are crafted using the cold process method. Cold process soap making is an art form, a combination of chemistry and creativity, resulting in a product that is as much a treat for the skin as it is for the senses. Unlike commercial soaps that are often mass-produced with harsh chemicals, cold process soap making is a method that allows for more control over ingredients and ensures that the beneficial properties of those ingredients remain intact.

At the heart of our soap making process is the star ingredient: goat milk. Goat milk is a treasure trove of nutrients for your skin, including vitamins, minerals, and proteins that nourish and hydrate. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin, yet effective for a range of skin conditions.

Handcrafting soap using the cold process method with organic ingredients and goat milk eliminates the need for harsh synthetic additives and preservatives. It's a return to nature and simplicity, embracing ingredients that are as good for our skin as they are for the environment. Udderly Organic Soap Co promises a bathing experience that is as indulgent as it is beneficial for your skin health. Embrace the richness of handcrafted care, and let your skin feel the difference.
