Ingredient Sourcing
Growers and producers in BC that we love:
Cropthorne Farm grows really huge and colorful lettuces. We buy those almost every week. They have an incredible squash selection and white carrots which are sweet and divine. Their certified organic farm is on Westham Island (close to Ladner, BC) but you can find their veggies at the Vancouver Farmers Markets and through their CSA.
Forstbauer Farm is a certified organic and biodynamic farm in Chilliwack, BC that puts soil quality first. They view the farm as a whole organism, the plants and soil representing organs that need to be all healthy to stay sustainable as a unit. We love their squash blossoms, lettuces, and flowering herbs.
Ice Cap Organics is where we get the rich purple kale, rainbow chard, and orange cauliflower. They’re growing certified organic goodies in Pemberton. Quick tip: they also have affordable and gorgeous flowers at the West End farmers market on Saturdays.
Myca Farms is an excellent gourmet mushroom grower in Glen Valley. They have a colorful variety of options including nootropic lion’s mane, different colored oyster mushrooms, chestnuts, etc. Their chef’s box is incredible. Order a box directly or find them popping up in the Downtown farmers markets.
Snowy Mountain Farms is a certified organic farm located in Similkameen Valley, BC that uses old school farming techniques that respect land and animals alike. We catch them at the farmers markets and buy their hearty root vegetables.
The Soap Dispensary is a sustainable refill shop located on Main St. where we buy a lot of our organic dried goods such as beans, grains, baking supples, as well as non-toxic cleaning supplies for the kitchen and home. Their glass bottle options are extensive!
Traffic Coffee Co., with their stellar color palette and illustrations, is a specialty coffee roaster based in Montreal. Their delicate coffee fuels the rush that is cooking day.
