Supplier Showcase
British Columbia offers an abundance of quality produce and meats, and sourcing out local farmers drives a significant part of our menu creation. By using locally available products whenever possible, we are able to serve up fresh and robust dishes. This not only contributes to a positive and nutritional dining experience, but it also supports hard working local farmers and suppliers.
We’d like to show our appreciation by introducing you to some of our suppliers:
Pemberton Meadows – Natural Beef – Pemberton, BC
Pemberton Meadows Natural Beef proudly raises their cattle on feeds that are byproduct free, and contain no additives or rendered ingredients. The hay and grains are grown right on the farm in Pemberton, or on a local neighbour’s farm. The cattle have free access to open pasture and shelter, which means they are healthier, do not require any antibiotics, and are hormone and steroid free.
FarmCrest Chicken – Salmon Arm, BC
FarmCrest Chicken is a small-family three generation run operation located in Salmon Arm. Commencing in 1999 the business has a hatchery, a feed mill, grow barns and a processing plant. In addition they market and distribute their own product. Farmcrest ensures the poultry is fed with healthy grain, and seeding is well underway for the 300 acres of wheat grown on the farm. The wheat, together with corn, soya, vegetable oil, minerals and vitamins is mixed at the feed mill to create a balanced diet free of hormones, antibiotics and meat meal.
Animal welfare is very important to the family. The hatchery is modern and automated to ensure a healthy chick.

Terra Coffee and Tea Ltd. - Montreal, Quebec
Terra Coffee and Tea represents the culmination of years of hard work and commitment by Carlo Granito, a humanist and entrepreneur who’s passionate about coffee. As a philanthropist who puts quality first, Carlo has worked with his team to develop a remarkable approach that enables them to bring the world’s best coffees to the Canadian and international markets.
The path taken by Carlo is far from typical. Motivated by a concern for the inequalities faced by coffee farmers, he follows a golden rule when purchasing green coffee beans. After an extremely meticulous search and selection process that can take up to 10 years, he generally offers above-market prices (up to 80% higher) so that farmers, their families and their communities have the means to improve their living conditions.
