Our Story

We're Jordan & Vanessa. We moved to the Okanagan in 2011 to start a veggie business on leased land at The Homestead Organic Farm in Peachland, because we're passionate about healthy soil and good food.
Then a whole bunch of stuff happened. Vanessa became a midwife. The veggie business grew. We got hitched. The business grew some more. In 2016, Vanessa got pregnant (!!), and we moved ourselves to Kelowna, where Vanessa practices midwifery, and Jordan established a new farm lease, under a new name: Unearthed Organics. We have two boys: Levon and August.
Things kept changing. After five years in Kelowna we moved North again. We live in Vernon now and Jordan shifted his production model from mixed veggies to beans and milling corn. His farm lease is now located at his friends’ place: Fresh Valley Farms in Armstrong.
