Farm One Forty
Farm One Forty is all about connecting people with real food, and owners Arlie and Brett LaRoche do that by hosting farmto-table dinners and farm tour lunches. Tours offer a glimpse into daily life on the 140-acre farm. Guests can stroll out to the pasture, mingle with the animals and explore the gardens where most of the dinner ingredients are grown and harvested. farmoneforty.ca

Odla – a unique, farm-direct restaurant and market – is the brainchild of Arlie and Brett LaRoche, who also own Farm One Forty. The holistically managed farm supplies the restaurant with its meat, grains, honey, fruits and vegetables, highlighting the bounty of the region whilst supporting local purveyors. Chef and co-owner Scott Dicks creates seasonal menus inspired by the fresh ingredients. odla.ca
