Products

Where are your products made?

Our products are made on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. We employ a handful of local Islanders in our small production shop who share our enthusiasm for providing quality, nutrient rich products to a growing community of health-conscious consumers.

Are your products non-GMO?

Yes, all our products are non-GMO.

Is your bone broth organic?

We use organic bones in our bone broth where possible. If we cannot get certified organic, we ensure the products come from pastured beef, sheep and pigs right here on Salt Spring Island or as local as possible. Our organic Chicken bones come from Dana in the Fraser Valley, our organic Simply Chicken backs and necks from Michael at Kildara Farms in North Saanich. Bison bones come from Bob at Morningstar Bison Ranch near Cedar on Vancouver Island. Our certified non-GMO Chicken Feet from Salmon Arm, BC. When we can't get local beef bones, they come from Gian at Two Rivers distribution who gets them from Blue Goose cattle ranch in Cache Creek, BC and Prairie Ranchers in Alberta. All of our vegetables we add to the broths are certified organic. 

How can I tell good quality bone broth?

Good quality bone broth has a high amount of collagen which causes it to jiggle when refrigerated. That jiggling is the indicator of quality. If bone broth doesn't jiggle, it is not high quality. All our bone broths jiggle.

How do you ensure quality?

We have strict standards of quality to produce our bone broths, which are made from beef, lamb, chicken and pigs that are humanely raised.

Health Benefits

Will bone broth cure my health condition?

Why do you make bone broth?

Bones are full of nutrients. However, as humans, we are unable to eat bones in their whole form. That is why we cook them. We simmer them for 10-20 hours to release their nutrients and get their full benefits.

We call them Clean Fatbars because they are non-GMO, have no preservatives, do not contain any fillers, are gluten free, organic, and vegan.
