Quartz & Yarrow

OUR STORY

The name is derived from two different biodynamic preparations:

crushed quartz and yarrow blossoms.

OSCA and Phantom Creek Estates

For more than 20 years, the Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Alliance (OSCA) has been providing people of all ages with opportunities to experience, discover, explore and protect our amazing natural environment.

We are pleased to be connected with the OSCA as we have much in common. We are both connected to the earth and all that it offers, and have a strong desire to protect and enhance all the natural wonders of the south Okanagan.

We are also pleased to announce a portion of the proceeds from Quartz & Yarrow Sustainable Red sales will be donated to the OSCA.
