Products

I make many different kinds of pickles, and all are delicious. Made from garden grown cucumbers, beans, beets and carrots, garlic, onions, peppers and brussels sprouts.

I have unique combinations of fruits and spices in my jellies and jams. They come in both traditional and low-sugar, dairy free variations (spreads). I have a large strawberry patch, rows of raspberries canes and blueberry bushes beginning to produce, in addition foraging neighbourhood cherry, apple and crabapple trees.

Relish, salsas and sauces made from garden fresh tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, peppers and rhubarb.

This is my garden in Merville, at the base of Mt Washington
and on the bank of the Tsolum River.

Why “Lamb & Chick?”
Because I don’t really live on a farm with sheep and chickens, but I sure wish I did!
I specialize in small batch jams, pickles and preserves using fresh, local produce. Ingredients are grown by me at River Haven Farm in Merville, or in friends’ gardens. I have picked roadside berries and gleaned with Lush Valley. Each product is made with gratitude for this amazing part of the world.
I like to get a little creative, but I also like to keep it simple and homey. My mom used to pick currants in our backyard and make jam and jelly. My aunt makes the family pickles and I do my best to replicate them!
I hope you find something to take home and try in a creative way, and I really hope you love it! I will keep saving up for my little farm with sheep and chickens. When I get there, you are invited!
“I love everything Megan makes! “
The pickles taste like those restaurant sandwich pickles and I love that the jam has pieces of fruit in it. Amazing quality.
“Best Christmas Marmalade”
Love, love this.
Thank you Megan.
“Do anything you can to get a jar (or 5) of Megan’s Christmas Jam”
I cannot imagine the holiday season without it now! My favorite way to eat it has to be by SPOON!
