Hi, I’m Gary Caine. I grew up in rural Saskatchewan in the 50s and 60s, where growing, preserving, and making your own food wasn’t a hobby-it was just part of everyday life.

Those early years shaped how I live to this day.

When I’m not in the kitchen or working on a project, you’ll usually find me outdoors fishing, hunting, or camping, enjoying the same simple, hands-on lifestyle I was raised with.
