Good food does not exist in isolation. Fresh Valley Farms is part of a wider community of farmers, makers, processors, and innovators who are all working toward better food systems.
Robson Valley Sheep Co.
All of the lamb we sell comes from Robson Valley Sheep Co., where sheep graze across hundreds of acres of certified organic pasture. Hanni and Teres Gasser have been raising sheep since 1988, using low-pressure, rotational grazing that supports soil health and animal wellbeing. Their lamb is 100 percent grass-fed, grass-finished, and consistently exceptional.
North Okanagan Butcher Hub
All red meat processing for Fresh Valley Farms is handled by our trusted butcher, Matt, through his own business, North Okanagan Butcher Hub. Matt originally trained while working at Fresh Valley Farms, including formal schooling at Thompson Rivers University. He now runs an independent operation specializing in beef, pork, and lamb. Red meat butchering is no longer done on-farm, and we are grateful to continue working with Matt in this next chapter.
Wild Antho Raw Honey
Fresh Valley Farms partners with Wild Antho, a third-generation beekeeping operation based here in Armstrong, British Columbia. Wild Antho produces exceptional raw, unpasteurized honey and provides essential apiary services that support healthy farms and resilient food systems across the Okanagan-Shuswap. Their hives are primarily located on organic farms and nearby wild lands, and their work reflects a deep respect for bees, land, and community.
Unearthed Organics Heirloom Beans & Corn
Unearthed Organics grows the heirloom beans and corn that stock Fresh Valley Farms’ pantry.

Jordan farms on leased land at Fresh Valley Farms in Armstrong, making this a deeply local partnership rooted in soil health, crop diversity, and keeping high-quality staple foods grown and processed in the North Okanagan.
