About Cindy Dreger: She has been “into” health food for 30 years, owning an Organic Food Delivery service for several years in the Cowichan Valley, advocating wheat grass juice while being a vendor at the Duncan Farmers Market selling alternative baking and Market Garden Fair when her kids were young. Cindy was the main buyer at the “Community Farm Store” at the Duncan Garage from when it opened till this past July.
