Our products are sold online, at Russell Farm Market, Cedar Farmers Market and our very own Duncan Farmers Market. It is a wonderful community of hard working artisans. I love meeting my customers in person, and our local market has a great reputation for being one of the best.

Pappy’s Creton was very fortunate to have joined the Cowichan Food Innovation Program, which was organized by Economic Development Cowichan and put on by Spring Activator. It was an amazing resource of business knowledge and support. As we were able to network with other food business owners in the Cowichan Valley, I found that their input of experiences was invaluable.

Pappy’s Creton A Quebecois Tradition

M

y name is Rino Bezeau, and I am the owner and chef at Pappy’s Creton. Some people just call me Pappy. The company started small in 2018, with just one product – creton. The inspiration behind it was to share my French Canadian culture with my customers through my cuisine and through interactions at the farmer markets. I use traditional family recipes, and now cook many more “Island Good” products. At this time of the year (Christmas season), tourtiere and sugar pie are very popular. We Quebecois celebrate on Christmas Eve with family and friends. Food and music are very important.

We are a growing business, and plan on doing more online sales, as well as more markets. I am sure that you will find us at a couple Christmas markets too (Deck the Hall & Touch of Saltspring). To view all our meat pies and various other products, our website is www.pappyscreton.ca We are on Instagram and Facebook as well.
