Pirates Cove Trading Company is run by Sabrina and Dane Clark, two off-the-grid entrepreneurs who are homesteading in 2 countries while running a bakery, fermentary and pizzeria on both DeCourcy Island and Baja, Mexico. They moved to DeCourcy Island in 2018 and ran the bakery on a trial basis for the first year.  DeCourcy Island is off-the-grid, with no electricity service and no ferry access.  The island is a 15-minute boat ride from Gabriola Island and Vancouver Island and has about 150 homes and cabins. Living in a small cabin with solar power and a propane oven, they have had to make do with rustic facilities. They even had to haul all their water from the well at neighbour BC Park for most of first year. All supplies are brought to the island by boat and sold from their farm stand to locals, boaters staying in the area and neighbouring islands like Mudge, Ruxton and Gabriola.

They believe in selling only healthy products that promote well-being through adopting an ancestral way of making their products. One way is by fermenting their grains, which is unique to the area.  It's a traditional way of making sourdough products and has allowed many gluten intolerant people to be able to enjoy traditional foods like bread once again. They also use organic ingredients and source supplies locally as much as possible while maintaining a zero waste policy.  They are well on the way to establishing a high-demand, speciality business that they hope will support them in the low-impact self-sufficient lifestyle that they desire.
