About The Gathering Place Trading Company
The Gathering Place is rooted in family, community and organic food. The company, owned by Lovena and Ryan Harvey and located on Cortes Island, British Columbia, is committed to organic farming, sustainability, and social responsibility.
Lovena and Ryan Harvey's first "Gathering Place" was a former hippie commune near Whistler, British Columbia. An idyllic location full of old growth trees, the couple farmed organically for five years, selling their fresh produce to local markets, grocery stores, and restaurants in the area. This was the start of their obsession with organic and was the genesis of the Gathering Place Trading Company.
Cortes Island, British Columbia, is the current home of The Gathering Place and Lovena and Ryan's growing family. They live in a small community of seven children and seven adults on 22 acres of gardens, orchard, and forest. They are building an off-grid passive solar home and fuel their business vehicle with biodiesel that they make from used vegetable oil. Their three beautiful children — Kai, Tosh, and Asha — and time spent in nature and with their community help keep them balanced. Honouring their farming roots, gardens abound, as well as chickens and ducks!
The Gathering Place Antarctic Pure Sea Salt
The Gathering Place Trading Company has sourced the purest salt in the world! Originating from the unpolluted waters of the Antarctic, this sea salt is as nature intended it to be — pure ocean brine minus the liquid, with no heat processing, no extraction of minerals, and no refining or processing in any way.
Every three days the pure Antartic sea salt is hand harvested from the pans, with special scoops, to retain its perfect crystal formation. The salt crystals are then hand-sifted and weighed.
Research proves that humans need whole, clean ocean salt. Antarctic Pure Sea Salt contains 82 trace minerals and essential macronutrients that our bodies need for optimum functioning.
Green Earth Organics is thrilled to be offering The Gathering Place’s sea salt in convenient, reusable grinders and in bags of both coarse sea salt and fine sea salt.
