(Photo Credit: Athiana Acres)

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.
