Organic Sifted Spelt Flour, True Grain
True Grain Mill, Cowichan
Spelt is a flavourful ancient grain that is a distant relative of wheat. Our Spelt is organic and is proudly grown in BC. We slowly stone grind our Spelt at low temperature to maximize flavour and preserve nutrients. Spelt is a popular choice for discerning bakers since it has not been subject to the hybridization efforts to improve yields like modern wheat has. “Sifted” simply means we remove the bran. Substitute Sifted Spelt for all-purpose flour in your recipes. Thank you for supporting organic BC Farmers and Millers.
Ingredients: *Stone-ground BC Sifted Spelt flour. *Organic

Large Eco Eggs, Lockwood Farm
Lockwood Farm, Cowichan
Run by a passionate young husband and wife team (along with their kids, barn cats, adorable puppies and pigs) in the Cowichan Valley.
They believe that healthy eggs come from happy chickens. Raised with love… and grubs!
Insects are a very natural part of a hen’s diet, yet conventional feed has not included insect protein in it’s regular ration. Instead the industry has looked primarily to soy. Soy crops can grow 356 lbs of edible protein per acre, whereas insect protein has the potential to grow upwards of 100,000 lbs of edible protein per acre.
Hen house is run entirely from solar power.

Cowichan Pasta
Organic Ancient Grain Pasta, Cowichan Pasta Company
Cowichan Pasta was the first pasta company in Canada to make stone ground pasta with organic ancient grains such as Emmer, Khorasan and Red Fife.
It is stored in whole kernel form, and then milled fresh with a chosen grind that maintains more of the fibre portion of the wheat than over processed grains. This makes Cowichan Pasta deeply satiating and is more filling than conventional refined pasta. At SALT JAR refillery you can find Emmer Fettuccine, Red Fife Conchiglie and Khorasan Gemelli in bulk making this high-quality pasta more affordable and without extra packaging.
Boil pasta for about 8 minutes in boiling water with a little oil and toss with your favorite sauce.

3.8% Chocolate Milk- Low-Pasteurized
3.8% Chocolate Milk- Low-pasteurized, Grass-Fed*, Cowichan Valley
With a smooth chocolate flavour and richness from 3.8% cream, this chocolate milk is sure to satisfy!
Bottled on Monday and in your fridge by Tuesday- this is the tastiest, farm-fresh milk on Saltspring!
Why we love Cowichan Milk Company
– Cowichan milk is grass fed (from their own fields) and is supplemented with a little grain in the winter months.
– The pasteurization method they use is slow and low. It is the lowest temperature of pasteurization that is legal in Canada (closest to raw milk folks!). It is heated just enough to kill unwanted bacteria but preserves the healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, essential minerals, and fat-soluble vitamins A, D3, and K2.
– Their farm is a circular operation all on the same site. They grow the grass that feeds the cows and the manure goes right back into the fields for fertilization.
– The milk is bottled the day before you receive it on Salt Spring. Any fresher and you would have to be under the cow!
– The vanBovens are a third- generation (and going) family of milk farmers.
Cowichan Milk Company’s dairy is pasteurized “low and slow”, leaving it as close to its natural state as possible.
Ingredients: milk, cane sugar, cocoa powder, salt, carrageenan gum, natural flavour, vitamin D3
Low-pasteurized means that Cowichan Milk will not have the long shelf life of most milks, which are pasteurized with the “high temperature, short time” method. Use within a week of opening.

Laundry Soda (Sodium Carbonate)
Washing soda is a compound, also known as sodium carbonate, frequently used in DIY and commercial laundry detergents. Washing soda should not be confused with baking soda (a less abrasive cleaning agent), although the two compounds are closely related since they both contain the mineral trona. Washing soda and baking soda can be used together in DIY detergent recipes to remove stains, but washing soda has more of a stripping action to remove residues of oils, minerals, and fabric softeners.
Sodium carbonate can also be used to mitigate the problems associated with “hard water” — or water with a high mineral content — when it comes to cleaning clothes. Hard water makes it difficult to clean laundry completely because the minerals in the water keep the detergents from doing their best work. Washing soda “softens” the water by binding to the minerals in the water, allowing the detergents to lift dirt from fabric.

Steel Cut Oats, Organic
Organic Steel Cut Oats, Canada
Organic steel cut oats contains potassium, calcium, magnesium, several different B-vitamins and vitamin E. Additionally, oats have trace minerals, such as manganese, copper, iron, selenium and zinc. They are also full of phytochemicals, which are good for you, and contain both insoluble and soluble fiber.
Steel cut oats are made by taking the oat groats and cutting them into 2 to 3 smaller pieces using a steel blade. Steel cut oats are also sometimes called Irish oats. Steel cut oats are also more coarse than other types of oats and tend to be chewier. This gives them a hearty texture that is very filling, but it does mean they require longer soaking and cooking times. However, they are still good to use in an overnight oats recipe.

Production: Sage is a perennial, evergreen shrub, that is a part of the mint family and is native to the Mediterranean. Rubbed sage is different from ground sage in that it is made by rubbing dried whole sage leaves together to make a light, airy mix, as opposed to grinding the entire leaf into a powder.

Dairy Pour Spout
These reusable pour spouts fit on any of the Cowichan Milk bottles. They stay on securely and control the stream of milk or cream for easier pouring.
They do fit very tightly, so they require a strong hand to pull them off again. We recommend warming the plastic spout with hot tap water to allow it to go on and release more easily, and to prevent cracking.
