Unfortunately due to a number of reasons I will not be continuing to sell product this fall. I do hope to at some point in the future begin selling products again, should this happen, updated information will be available though this page and on Instagram .
Thanks you again for all of your support and I am sorry that I will not longer have the opportunity to connect with all of you through food!

Thank you everyone for your support during the market season and your continued interest in supporting by business past the end of the markets!
I just wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break from baking for a couple of weeks in order to recover from the market season and to fully plan the fall and winter bread distribution. I will be sending out further information and details in the next couple of weeks.
Until then, I hope you are having an excellent start to the fall season!
All the best,
Dxn Stevens

Fawn Lily Community Foods is small scale artisan bakery that provides sourdough loaves, snacks and seed based crackers on sliding scale pricing system that ranges from the cost of ingredients upwards, with no one turned away for lack of funds.

For each product available there are two listed prices, which reflect the upper and lower ends of the pricing scale for that product. The lower price represents the approximate cost of ingredients used to make the product (the COG). The upper end of the scale represents a price that would cover the difference between the lower end of the scale and the market value for the product. The hope is that folks will pay an amount that reflects their own financial situation. Paying an amount on the higher side of the scale will help make it possible for this business to continue to operate and for others to be able to access the products at a rate they are able to afford. I also accept direct trade in the form of food, art, other products, skills or anything else you would like to exchange for bread or crackers.

Products from Fawn Lily Community Foods will be available at the James Bay Community Markets on Saturday from 9-3, May to September. Starting in August products will also be available through a bicycle delivery service. In doing this I hope to be able to make products more accessible for folks who may not be able to make it to the market for any reason. I also hope in this way to be able to continue the operations of Fawn Lily Community Foods past the end of the market season. More information on the delivery service will be posted closer to August.

I would like to acknowledge that Fawn Lily Community Foods operates on the unseeded, surrendered and stolen lands of the Lekwungen and WSANEC peoples, represented today by the Songhees and Esquimalt nations. As a white settler I also recognize that I have primarily benefited from the systems which are causing the ongoing cultural genocide that is colonialism. More specifically I would like to acknowledge that the ways in which I have benefited from these systems are what has lead me to be in a significant enough position of privilege to be able to launch this business. In line with with understanding I am trying to distance myself from traditional ideas of ownership over this business. Some of the steps I am taking to do this are to prioritize remaining as transparent as possible and donating any profits (after labor and operations expenses have been payed) to community organizations and initiatives. I also recognize that I am only beginning a long journey of learning and unlearning, and as such I know I will be making mistakes. I strive to hold myself accountable for the mistakes that I make and the harm that I may cause to others. Should anyone recognize ways that I am causing harm and feel comfortable telling me, I would be incredibly grateful for this.

In an effort to be as transparent as possible all of the Fawn Lily Community Foods financial documents and information are available to be seen here.
