BC KIAN LAND LTD is an organic farm. I was born into a farming family, I love agriculture, nature, and the environment.

I established an NGO to clean nature from pollution, we volunteered to go to nature and collect any environmental pollutants such as plastic. The NGO I founded has become one of the largest environmental NGOs in Iran which planted thousands of trees, shrubs, and seeds in Middle Eastern areas to prevent soil erosion and desertification. When I immigrated to Canada, I went to my favorite farming job. I produce organic garlic now. Canada is my home and British Columbia is my heart.

Our produce is harvested day before and brought to market very next day. " You have to try it to see the taste difference"

Maya in Exile Garden

Vancouver, BC - 14th 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.

Langley, BC - 1st season at our market
The words "Festina Lente" mean literally "Make Haste Slowly". This accurately reflects our philosophy of taking the time to accomplish things with diligence the first time and the pride that we take in simple things done well.

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. Little did we know that building our lives here would not only be the most physically demanding project we have ever done, but the most rewarding as well!

As beekeepers and winemakers, it was a natural fit to explore the lost tradition of Mead or Honey Wines. Of course, over the years, tastes change and we have developed a drier and more sophisticated honey wine that can be appreciated for many years. Honey wine is the white wine that ages like a red, so white wine drinkers can now command room in the most refined cellars and enjoy the depth and breadth of ever changing flavours over time.

Davemade Granola

Vancouver, BC - 2nd season at our market
The idea behind davemade granola began as a hobby during the COVID lockdown of 2020. During this time, a workmate lamented that a downside of working remotely was missing the annual office tradition of making and sharing treats - Dave’s granola in particular. She even commented, “Y’know, I would buy that stuff.” Thus, the idea was born! With the encouragement of friends and family, we’ve discovered that the city is full of folks passionate about granola. Though we went through a process of formalizing the recipe, we never wanted to lose the essence of why we enjoyed making and sharing our granola: There’s something soul-satisfying in making and feeding a friend something that puts a smile on their face. We want to make sure that davemade stays authentic to that vision. With a focus on quality ingredients and unique flavours, we hope that you enjoy eating our granola as much as we enjoy making it for you.
