Camel's Back Harvest was created in 2012 after Carrie Charron (born Kuurne) moved back to her parent's family farm (Kuurne Farms) with her husband Remi and two kids, Cedric and Maxine. Shortly after moving back, the McEwan's, who had been operating Pemberton's strawberry u-pick for 20 years, approached Carrie to see if she would be interested in growing strawberries. They were looking to retire from growing strawberries, and wanted to pass on the strawberry u-pick, just like it been passed onto them by the Naylor's. Carrie agreed and brought the McEwan's equipment and knowhow up the Pemberton Meadows. Unfortunately, as happens so frequently, things change and the difficult decision was made in April of 2017 to cease strawberry production, at least for the short term.
Camel's Back Harvest will have rhubarb, squash, hopefully lamb, and eggs for 2017. Together with her brother Petter, who operates Snowbound Ranch that grows carrots and raises cattle for beef, and her parents Mark and Roxy, who operate Kuurne Farms that grows potatoes and hay, Carrie and her family produce lots of great local food for the Pemberton and Whistler areas. Local residents looking for produce can purchase them at the Animal Barn in Pemberton when available. Restaurants looking for weekly deliveries of produce, or residents looking to buy meat can contact the farm at 604-894-6359 or email us at camelsbackharvest@gmail.com.
