Mill Bay, BC-Based Lyndie's Organics Riding Growth Wave

So much for retirement. Lynda and Doug Dickie are grinding into a booming bakery business in their supposed golden years.

Doug, a former builder, and Lynda, a retired civil servant and fashion co-ordinator, have been producing organic flour, breads, crisps, cereals and pancake mixes from a stone mill in their country home on a half acre south of Mill Bay for a decade.

From humble beginnings at country fairs, Lyndie's Organic Bakery products are now sold in about 30 grocery stores on the south Island, including most Thrifty Foods and Fairway Markets stores and, most recently, the Country Grocer chain.
