Welcome! My name is Nicole Noris! I'm a west coast transplant to Nakusp, coming up on our two year anniversary here. This remains one of the best decisions of my life as I love the village so very much. I have been focused on my acrylic painting since arriving. I love to walk and to share the wonderous places I traverse with the viewer. To inspire you to explore is my greatest quest. I don't paint on site, preferring to immerse myself in the scenery and remember the feelings my journey brought to me.

This dream team husband/wife duo have literally been making dreams come true in the homes of the community with their woodworking skills. From coasters to cabinets, if you have the imagination for it, chances are they can make it happen!

Hey, I’m Rachel! The maker and creator behind Backcountry Farms soap. Having a farm of our own in the wild mountains of BC, has been a dream of ours for years. My husband, 2 boys and I finally made that a reality just over three and a half years ago when we stumbled across the magic of the West Kootenays! We are slowly growing our farm to be as self sustainable as we can. Adding soaps last year has been a long time dream of mine. I didn't realize how much I would actually enjoy making it! Every batch is made with a lot of thought and a whole lotta love ❤
