Vendor Spotlight: Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse

How large are your orchards, and how many varieties of apples do you grow?

We have a 10-acre property that holds a four-acre Certified Organic Orchard nestled in the Saanich Peninsula on southern Vancouver Island. We currently have 1500 apple trees that produce 50+ heritage
varietals. We also lease an orchard in the Similkameen Valley – a region known for growing high-quality, organic produce.

How do cider apples differ from snacking or baking apples?

Any apple can be used to make cider, but the types of apples used will drastically affect the taste of the cider. We choose to use traditional heirloom varietals because of the low sugar, and high tannins, which helps to impart complexity to the cider. Cider apples are traditionally known as ‘spitters’, this is because once you take a bite, you just want to spit it out!

How many varieties of cider do you sell? How often do you introduce new flavours, and where does the inspiration come from for new creations?

We produce 15 sparkling ciders throughout the year and 3 fortified ciders. We produce our “core four” – Bramble Bubbly, Kings & Spies, Pippins and Rumrunner – multiple times a year and 11 ciders on a seasonal basis. We produce four different series of ciders and they are the inspiration for the ciders within the series: Heirloom Series, Canadian Invasion Series, Barrel Series and Sticky Series – each providing the inspiration for the ciders from traditional cider-making methods and what is seasonally available.

What do you like most about selling at farmers markets?

We like to participate in farmers markets to help support local growers and to bring awareness to the craft cider community. We believe that cider is for celebrating and is worth celebrating and we want to be able to share that mindset with our community!

Why is supporting local important to you?

Supporting our community and the support we have received from our community has been fundamental to our success. We crowd source thousands of apples each year from local farmers and these farmers have a big part in helping us produce our award winning ciders.

Vendor Spotlight: Bali Bites

Where do you prepare your sauces? What is your production process like?

Our sauces are prepared in our home kitchen. Making this sauce does take time and a lot of man power…thank goodness for my 3 sons helping out! We follow the same traditional preparation steps that our grandmothers have done, with a slight tweak in the use of modern equipment. We definitely make our sauce with lots and lots of love and tears…tears of joy when the production is finished!

What are some unusual uses for peanut sauce that some people may not know about?

Baking is one use that surprises our customers, but we encourage them to be creative and try adding the sauce to recipes that call for peanut butter. We just love the feedback from them! One customer uses our sauce to blend in her smoothies instead of protein powder. Another uniqueness of our sauce is that it can be eaten wet or dry. One of my sons scoops some right out of the bag and crumbles it over his granola, cereal, or rice while another sprinkles it over his chocolate ice cream, or dips his strawberries into. Sounds like pregnancy indulgences, but don’t knock it till you try it! I used it for a salmon poke dish just recently, it was another successful creation of mind blowing taste

What are your favorite types of food to cook at home?

Indonesian, Chinese and pretty much everything. I love cooking globally.

What do you like most about selling at farmers markets?

The interaction with customers have been phenomenal! Besides introducing a new product, it also gives us a chance to share stories and educate the public about our Indonesian culture. It has been wonderful to share our product, and we hope it enhances the markets and provides a variety of products in each community.

Why is supporting local important to you?

Talented and hard working individuals who tirelessly provide for the community, as much as they provide for their families, should be supported for their livelihood. Markets bring a community closer, while encouraging and educating the public to choose healthier alternatives and appreciate each vendor’s speciality that you usually can’t find commercially. As well, supporting local is good for our local economy, and to keeps growth inside a community.

Vendor Spotlight: Ca Croustille

Everyone’s talking about Ca Croustille’s delicious croissants! If you haven’t picked up one of their fabulous creations, find them at the Market soon! In the meantime, learn more about them here:

Where does your love of croissants and pastries come from, and how did you hone your skills?

My love for baking came from my background – I am born and raised in France, and of course bakery has a big place in our life.  When I was in grade 6, my school teacher had us do one week immersed in a profession to prepare us for adult life. I ended up in my neighborhood bakery and the week that I spent there was amazing. The team was really friendly, and of course I enjoyed the baking! So when I was 16, I start working in the bakery. I took courses and I had my 1st baking diploma in 2008 and my second in 2010.  In France there is a difference between the breadmaker and a pastry chef, so my first seven years as a baker I was only a bread maker. I started traveling and felt like I was missing something – pastry skills! So I came back to France, took pastry classes and received two diplomas in pastry.  In 2015, I got a call from a bakery in Vancouver who wanted to hire me. I secured a visa, and here I am!  I worked two and half years at the bakery, and then started Ca Croustille with Sebastien.

What is your production process like? Where do you source your ingredients?

As a baker, we have to live the baker life, and that means that all the production is done at night. The product proofs overnight, and is baked early in the morning.  Our main supplier provides all of our ingredients, which is very convenient! But, I also love buying products from farmers markets such as jam, eggs, or apple butter.

What are your favorite types of food to cook at home?

Since I’ve been selling at farmers markets, I have been enjoying the fresh products to use in my home cooking! I love cooking at home and mostly cook French dishes, such as vegetables, pies, soups, and gratin!

What do you like most about selling at farmers markets?

I love doing farmers markets! I feel I am a part of a community and enjoy the person to person interaction.

Why is supporting local important to you?

It’s important to know what’s on your plate, how your product is made, and to be sure that your food is not processed – it’s your body after all!! Farmers Markets are an important way to decrease your carbon footprint, too!
