About Islanders Authentic Mexican Salsa
I am Lily Rechon-Reguet, I am a Canadian citizen with a Mexican background. I moved from Mexico to Vancouver in 2006 at 24 years old. In Vancouver, I studied as a Web Designer and System Developer at BCIT and worked in the food industry. Married to a lovely French guy Thierry, I had the opportunity to live and work in the food industry in France for three years, where I learned new food processing techniques.
In Mexico, I went to the University of Industrial Engineering. I had the opportunity to work for 6 years in a candy factory; which involved the development of new products, also the production and sales department as part of the team.
When I returned from France, I discovered that many people had a desire for Mexican food. Then I decided to make my line of fresh Mexican salsas that allows people to create their dishes with a Mexican taste. At this moment Islanders Fresh Authentic Mexican Sauce was born. Our family business is based on making and selling fresh, traditional salsas, using authentic traditional Mexican recipes with fresh whole food and local ingredients. Keeping the salsas free of chemicals, gluten, dairy, artificial flavours and colours, MSG, and with no added sugar. Giving you a healthy, 100% authentic and unique Mexican taste.
If you can't visit Mexico now, I invite you to have a little piece of Mexico on your plate. Enjoy!We're Restocking -

Pure African Shea Butter softens, moisturizes and heals skin damaged by the heat and sun. Ancient African wisdom knew that Shea Butter kept skin healthy and young. Modern science tells us that Pure African Shea Butter is filled with fatty acids to stimulate skin renewal; tocopherols to give shea butter natural antioxidant properties; and cinnamic acid to provide UV protection.

In their quest for coffee that was environmentally friendly and fair to farmers, they built long-term partnerships with producers to source organic, shade-grown, fair trade coffee.
In 1996 Salt Spring Coffee opened its first roastery cafe on Salt Spring Island, BC. After years of success, we expanded into a larger roasting facility in Greater Vancouver to better serve our customers.

About Taco Revolution
Ixim was started as a passion project by Michelle Paez and PJ Frayne out of their small home kitchen on Gabriola Island in 2015. Having returned to Canada from living abroad in South America, they missed the wonderful tortillas and other fresh foods that they had become accustomed to. Searching grocery stores all over Vancouver Island, they couldn't find a corn tortilla that came close to what was commonly available in Mexico. So, they purchased a small tortilla press and started making their own.
Several members in their new Island community heard about the tortillas that PJ and Michelle were making, and invited the couple to set up a booth at the Gabriola Farmer's market. The tortillas were an instant hit, and the passion project quickly turned into a hobby business. Within a year, Ixim Foods Inc was incorporated and was selling tortillas from 4 different farmer's markets around the Island. But tortillas weren't enough. People wanted ready-to-eat tacos! Beginning in the second year, the Taco Revolution food truck was built and put into service. It was a huge hit and quickly attracted a large following. Ixim Foods was no longer a hobby business.
The building of a commissary kitchen quickly followed, and with it an expanded product line. Over the course of the last few years, Taco Revolution has grown to become a highly regarded and recognized brand of Mexican Food products on Vancouver Island. And we continue to grow. -

About Wychbury Ave
In 2011, I biked over 2000 km on a cycling tour with thirteen other women on The Otesha Project to teach communities about environmental sustainability and social justice. After delivering over 30 performances about how to reduce unnecessary plastics in our everyday life and prevent human rights abuses, I wanted to put those solutions into practice and decided to make my own bath and body products with fair trade and ethically sourced ingredients, using only plastic-free and reusable packaging. In 2014, in the middle of a maternity leave from teaching, I transformed my basement into a soap-making studio and joined a community of like-minded individuals who were starting a farmers market.
Starting with tiny batches of only 7 bars at a time, I made, cut and packaged each batch myself, printing my own labels and learning the ins and outs of business as I went. I found a used bicycle trailer, and started towing my entire market setup back and forth to the Esquimalt Farmers Market each Thursday, began stocking local shops in Victoria with my soaps, and I’m now selling from my online shop at www.wychburyave.com, and at over 12 retailers on Vancouver Island. My dream began as a mission to show others how to enjoy the products we love while reducing waste and caring for people and the planet at the same time. I continue to provide vegan, palm oil-free, and fair trade products through my shop and educate others through workshops and daily insights on social media. Come join me!

Stonehouse Teas is also well known for its Signature Blend Teas. Christine brings her full chef experiences to create flavours and unique blends that form the Signature Blends Teas. In 2017, as a test with a local Yoga studio Ocean Mountain Yoga, we created a signature tea for their studio. This tea blend tea grew quickly. That led to signature blends being made for other businesses like Sage Spa and Form Wellness as well as a unique 25th Anniversary tea blend for Stonehouse Teas.
In 2019, we decided to create a tea that would represent Campbell River that gives you the taste and feel of being here. This unique blend was created by a panel of Campbell River locals and soon launched into the CR FOG as well as the CR JOLT. Within 3 years, we have blended close to 230kg (500lbs) of tea and it has been shipped to several countries across the globe.We're Restocking
