Muriel was raised on a small farm in Alberta. Her memories of food revolve around the growing and preserving of garden harvest, raising farm animals for food, hunting and fishing. Muriel has been a lifelong entrepreneur with over 40 years experience. Her latest endeavours include a successful food truck and catering company shared with her husband, Steve, right here in the Comox Valley. Taking care of people through food has been a common thread throughout Muriel’s life that continues to bring her so much joy.
