Wendy Yurek says “We are what we eat and what we eat tells our story. I think this is most easily explained if I start by telling you Wendy Yurek’s story.

Wendy grew up in St. Thomas, a small town in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. She is the middle daughter of Bruce and Grace Wilson. Bruce and Grace shared similar heritage. Although their ancestors roots were different (Germany and England), both families were multi-generational Canadian farmers. They were both raised on mixed use farms in West Lorne, Ontario. They raised livestock (beef cattle, milk cows, chickens, pigs and horses) as well as growing crops such as corn, alfalfa, soybeans and tobacco. The farms produced alot of the fruit and vegetables that they ate and the proporties were adorned with beautiful gardens providing flowers for the diner tables centrepieces.
