ILOMAA FOREST FARM is 40 acres of land in Ktunaxa Homelands (Ta Ta Creek, BC.) Rooted in traditional teachings, owners Becky + Juho practice deep listening and reciprocity, and receive only what the forest offers to create their line of wildcrafted teas, honeys, and other seasonal goods. They are on a mission to support the land and help her thrive in the same way she does for them.
Honoring Juho's first language, ILOMAA is a Finnish word meaning Land of Joy. Their farm practice is a seamless blend of Land-based knowledge and teachings from Finland, along with values they’ve cultivated and learned from teachers throughout Ktunaxa ʔamak̓is.
In partnership with Melissa McFeeters, we created a mark that is inspired by the Sun, Land, and Plants that thrive in the forest. A vibrant color palette pairs with bold shapes that represent ingredients found in nature. A slightly hand-drawn approach gives a touch of imperfection and whimsy to materials.
