Across The Creek Organics is located in the Pemberton Valley, 100 miles north of Vancouver. Operating since 1912, this 500 acre farm rests on the Lillooet river flood plains, and is one of the largest B.C. providers of organic potatoes. Half the land consists of wild wetlands and old growth cedar groves, making for a uniquely beautiful and fertile farm, that is part of the Land Conservancy Agricultural Partners program as well.
Bruce and Brenda Miller are not only Certified Organic, but also carry certification as seed potato providers within this highly restricted potato seed quarantine area. They ship across the country, featuring varieties like the Red Chieftain, White Cascade and German Butter. They also sell a wide range of goods to supportive local restaurants and markets, and the local spirit makers, Pemberton Distillery.
In 2019, the Millers started out on a new venture and opened up an on-farm brewery called The Beer Farmers. With some of their kids coming home to help set up the brewery, they now have 4 generations of history working on the land and from french fries to beer are providing great nourishment to the Pemberton Valley.
