How we started
Miller's Natural Products is the first and only producer of rosehip jam in Canada. Our humble beginnings take us back to the small town of Auendorf in southern Germany.

About our rosehip products
For years, First Nations have been using rosehips as an herbal remedy to prevent urinary bladder infections, as well as to assist in treating dizziness and headaches. It is well known that rosehips can also be used to treat colds and influenza.
Rosehips are also esteemed for their high Vitamin C content - more than 32x the amount in lemons, and the most of any fruit. They also contain Vitamins A, D, and E, essential fatty acids, antixoidant flavonoids, and they are a good source of iron.
In addition, rosehips are commonly used externally in oil form to restore firmness to skin by nourishing and astringing tissue.
At home in the Okanagan!
At Miller's Natural Products, we hand pick each rosehip individually in the fall, and then with special equipment, we separate the skin and the seeds, both of which are used in the production process.
Our products are available for purchase at Farmers' Markets in Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Summerland and Naramata, as well as on this website under the PRODUCTS tab at the top.
You will also be able to find our products in local food chains in the very near future!
We have recently expanded our product offerings to include organic European meats and sausages, as well as baked goods in their original German recipes!
All our products are produced in our facility in Lake Country in beautiful British Columbia.
