Direct Sourcing
We gather authentic and trustworthy ingredients from hand-selected family farms and community sourcing partners. No one in the middle, just farmers to families.
Our Bay Leaf grows very close to home. In fact, we grow Gathering Place Bay Leaf right on our Cortes Island home property on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
This beautiful, vibrant green Bay Leaf is one of the staples in our Canadian Culinary Herb Collection. Hand-picked and carefully washed and dehydrated, every leaf of Gathering Place Bay is from the current year’s harvest.
We love that we can offer you products grown right on our own land, in pure rich soil, surrounded by large cedars and firs, caressed by the salty brine air, and watered by west coast rains and pure well water.
We hope you enjoy this sustainably-grown and lovingly-tended bay leaf in soups, stews, risotto, or rice.
