THE WHOLE STORY:
PRESERVED YYC HEAVILY SUPPORTS ALBERTA FARMERS BY SHOWCASING A LOCAL PRODUCER FOR EACH OF THEIR PRODUCTS. BEFORE BUYING THE FRUIT TO MAKE THEIR HASKAP JAM, THEY MADE THE TRIP TO ROSY FARMS TO TALK TO THE OWNER,ANDREW, IN ORDER TO ENSURE HIS ORCHARD AND BERRIES FIT IN WITH THEIR "LOCAL PRODUCERS" VISION. WE WERE SUCCESSFUL! OUR RELATIONSHIP CONTINUES TO GROW.
About the photos:
The branding photo shoot was booked for April, 2020. Due to the Covid lockdown, things had to be done differently. The photographer was nice enough to lend Vanessa a camera and showed her how to use it during a Facetime meeting. Due to the extra time she had during the lockdown, she literally made the bread and grew the pea shoots before the photo shoot for this recipe.
