(Photo Credit: Hannah Brook Farm)

Now more than ever, it's important to support local growers and harvesters! To showcase the hard-working folks within community-supported agriculture (CSA) and deepen our collective knowledge of where our food comes from, whether it is produce, flowers or sustainable seafood, in our case, we again touched base with CSA across Metro Vancouver (and the Sea-to-Sky corridor).

Without further ado, here's our updated list of where to source the very best produce, protein and flowers in our region! We hope it inspires you to support your local growers and harvesters, and buy Canadian.

Meat Producers

We also wanted to share about our friends who are meat producers:

Blue Sky Ranch - Metro Vancouver / Fraser Valley / Merritt 

Long-time friends and supporters of Skipper Otto, Julia and Ludo are based on 21 acres, completely off-grid in the Nicola Valley near Merritt where they raise critically endangered Red Wattle pigs and sheep. 

• • Their pigs are raised on pasture and woodlands where they can root and wallow, expressing their natural behaviours while clearing brush and creating important firebreaks. Their sheep are rotationally grazed with frequent moves to ensure that they always have fresh forage and that the pastures have adequate time to rest. Together, the pigs and sheep are creating a healthy agro-ecosystem.
  • While not running a CSA per se, they have regular deliveries to the Fraser Valley, Metro Vancouver and Merritt for their pastured pork and grass-finished lamb.

For more information, check out their website.
