About Thistle Farm

Thistle Farm is located on the west side of the scenic North Thompson River Valley just 16 km north of Kamloops, British Columbia. The former 10 acre market garden was purchased by our family in 1994 and we then spent the next two years building our home.

Gardening had always been a passion of Dieter's and farming organically fit with our personal philosophy of promoting sustainable agriculture and protecting the environment. In 1997 we put in an acre of vegetables and attended the Kamloops Farmers' Market. The following year we applied for organic status and achieved certified organic status in 1999 with the Shuswap Thompson Organic Producers Association, #145. In 2001 we were also certified with the Certified Organic Association of British Columbia. As demand has grown so has our vegetable production and we now have approximately 6 acres in vegetables.

We attend the Kamloops Farmers' Market from May til October and sell bedding plants and a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs.

Due to our commitment to providing the community with healthy, nutritious produce we developed a farm to door delivery service in 1998. Our farm to door programme offers a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and some dry goods on a weekly or bi-weekly basis depending on customer needs. We provide service to all of Kamloops and some of the outlying areas.
