With every bite we take make an essential choice; do we invite health and vitality or sickness and disease? Since I began wild-harvesting pine pollen, my respect for Canadian forests has deepened. The tree embody Mother Earth's giving to us from root to crown, needle, cone, branch, bark, resin, lumber, and pollen! Wild harvesting blends my love of naturopathic medicine and good health, with my the desire to be free on the land.
I was born in Whitehorse, Yukon, raised in Yellowknife, NT, and have been calling Vancouver, British Columbia, "home" since 2013. I feel very fortunate to have experienced life in some of Canada's most beautiful areas - and as an added bonus, growing up in Canada's arctic region makes it easy to appreciate and respect the power of Mother Nature. I'm passionate about living a healthy, balanced lifestyle, and I am convinced nature provides us with all the essentials to do so.
When we set out to harvest the potent pine , we knew we wanted to do it sustainably, and that to us meant taking care during each step of the process to maintain the integrity of the pollen and its unique composition, and honour the human connections this product could create and sustain. We adhere to the highest Canadian quality standards in food and supplement manufacturing and and lead the industry in establishing Sustainable Harvest Protocols.
The Canadian Pine Pollen Company started from a quest for a healthy life fuelled by a shared vision for the wild and out of respect for the land. Our objective to create novel value in existing Canadian forests and bring you the best in class functional foods, herbs, and nutraceuticals wild harvested from pristine wild forests.
The truest tree-to-jar pine pollen there. A pure free-flowing golden treasure from the forest.
We hand harvest our pollen from wild and private forests, and test them against best Certified Organic and GMP regulations. Our pollen is tested to be free from Pesticide, herbicides, residue and heavy metals. We dry out pine pollen in controlled temperatures and store them in cold storage until shipping, so what you see in your hand when you get our pollen, it is the truest tree-to-jar pine pollen there is.
Each May June, our dedicated team mobilizes across the wildlands of British Columbia to collect, dry, and process pine pollen according to annual quotas.
With a short harvest season and limited supply, we partner with companies in advance to provide a reliable source of Canadian whole cell pine pollen.
From wild harvest to finished product, the process is managed through our Health Canada and FDA registered facility.
