Their farming history  began in 1851, when Henry Taylor, their ancestor, made the decision to become a farmer. Following in his footsteps, his son, Jacob Taylor, took over the family business. Then, in 1908, Jacob’s son, Jim Taylor (my great-grandfather), started his farming career. This consisted of grain farming, as well as fruits and vegetables in the Columbia Valley, British Columbia.  This is where Saunders Family Farm is located today.

Great-Grandpa Jim handed down the knowledge of farming to his son. His son married Grandma Sanda and  in 1953, the couple established Winderberry Farms in Windermere, British Columbia. This is where they raised two children Faith and Rodney . Faith and Rodney provided a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to the Columbia valley for many years.

Faith and Gordon Saunders continued the family tradition by establishing their own farm in 1986. They named their fruit and vegetable farm Win-Valley Gardens.

In 2001, Tanner Saunders the son of Faith and Gordon started another farm on the same land called Saunders Family Farm. Since then, Saunders Family Farm has been providing fresh produce and preserves to local communities around the Columbia Valley in British Columbia.

They've become a household name because of their gourmet jams and unique spicy jellies.

We hope you enjoy their jams and jellies as much as they enjoy making them.
