Wild Country Gardens By McKenze Martin & Caitlin Banks

is a family farm that has grown into an abundant supplier of homemade and chemical free goods. This beautiful farm is owned and cultivated by Rennie and Paulette Sparks located in Wildwood, Alberta. The Sparks started this farm for something to keep them busy after retirement and continue to stay active. They were

married in 2007, (the year they moved out to the farm) and they thought...

“What can we do to make it a place where we can live out our years and still enjoy life? Can we make this farm a place where we can live and support ourselves?” I can tell you that in fact yes it absolutely is possible, as that is what this wonderful couple has accomplished! All their products are made with only home grown locally sourced fruits and vegetables. These products include jams, jellies, syrups, salsas, relishes, sauerkraut, and pickles that are all produced and commercially inspected at the Wild Country Garden’s kitchen. They also sell a variety of herbal teas that are not only chemical and herbicide free, but are also hand picked, air dried and packaged right on the farm. Just when you think this couple cannot possibly do anymore, I find out they also make homemade soaps! All their soaps are made with beeswax, herbs, and flowers. The Sparks are even working with a local brewery to use the distilleries facilities\equipment
