Blue Spruce Ice Cream
Blue Spruce Ice Cream is a small-batch artisan ice cream shop in downtown Courtenay, owned and founded by Cree entrepreneur Kirsten Wood, a Cumberland native. The shop draws on Comox Valley ingredients — including wild-foraged sitka spruce buds, locally grown lavender, and buckwheat honey — to create distinctive flavours alongside a rotating lineup of vegan coconut-based ice creams. It uses 100% compostable packaging and is a vocal champion of the local food community, making it a memorable stop on any cycling tour of Vancouver Island.
