We are farmers in the southern interior of British Columbia (Celista, North Shore of Shuswap Lake) specializing in growing hard neck garlic naturally - without the use of pesticides, fungicides, and using only natural fertilizer. We have been growing garlic on our farm (Fissipes Farm) since 2015. Our garlic is lab tested and has a clean bill of health for seed garlic sales. We also sell locally and to restaurants. We grow several unique cultivars and our varieties include porcelains, purple stripes and marble purples stripes. In 2018 we are proud to introduce our very own porcelain variety, Shuswap Delight.

“Shallots are for babies; onions are for men; garlic is for heroes.” ~ Unknown.
This page will eventually bring images and stories from the garden :) ~ Stay Tuned!
This page will include artists we plan to feature once we have built the Fissipes Gallery and the Handpickt Store. Stay tuned!
Works by Patrick Hughes.
Patrick Hughes is a sculptor, photographer and painter from the interior of British Columbia. Earlier stomping grounds include Vancouver, B.C. where he attended UBC in pursuit of his BFA . An environmentalist at heart and with a strong ascetic sensibility, Patrick's sculptures are often made from discarded materials he comes across. "I love the history that comes with found materials". Patrick spends a lot of his time walking and capturing images wherever he may find himself. With an immaculate eye for composition and beauty, his photographic approach often conjures up the mystical, humorous, and humanity in the visual world that surrounds us.
