Every Friday the Peak has me in as a guest on their Peak Mornings show to quickly chat about One Awesome Thing happening in Vancouver right now.

This morning I chatted with Laurie Logan and Carly Waldie about the first Canadian Christmas tree farm to ve certified organic, about why that’s awesome, and where you can get em!

The sweetest vendor has joined the Winter Farmers Market at Nat Bailey: The Bees Knees Christmas Trees! What makes them extra sweet is a combination of a few things including…

1. They’re family owned and operated.

2. They’re the first Christmas tree farm in Canada to be certified organic as well as being certified Salmon Safe. Picture the amount of times an average Christmas tree has to be sprayed with pesticides over its 10 year span of being grown before it comes to your house. It’s at least 10 times more than any other crop, and those pesticides and chemicals get back into the groundwater and make their way to the ocean where they get into the fish that we eat. THEN once you bring the tree into your house you’re bringing those that remain into your home.

The Bees Knees doesn’t spray with anything. Everybody wins, even the fish.

Recently I shared THIS STORY of Save On Meats’ breakfast sandwich token which you can purchase and then give to folks in need, and it was a fantastic surprise to see our friends at Village & Company launch an initiative this morning to get more of these into the hands of folks who need them! Every time you use the hashtag #shareameal on social media, Village and Company (a social media agency, of course) will add one more breakfast sandwich token to their Christmas tree in their office on Union. Come December 26th they’ll be taking the decorations down and donating them to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre. Full details HERE.

How would you describe your place?

I would say that it’s got a lot of wood and it feel very old. It has a masterpiece theatre feeling. I like that it feels like it’s 110 years old, which it almost is.
