T
he food we eat- where it comes from, how it is produced and the many ways it can be prepared- has become a topic of intense interest for a growing number of consumers and dedicated ‘foodies’. In the Lower Mainland, we are fortunate to live where we have access to fresh locally produced and grown vegetables, fruit, meat, and dairy products many grown with sustainable and organic methods. In this inaugural Lower Mainland Food Guide, we bring you a list of some of Greater Vancouver’s best locally grown, free range and farm-to-fork options for you and your family. From artisan food and drink producers, food trucks and summer markets to urban and suburban farm stands, home delivery services and u-pick destinations, there’s a world of seasonal produce and handcrafted specialties on our doorstep. We hope you take advantage of the information listed in these pages by supporting some great local food producers and preparers and adding a little more freshness and goodness to your life.

MISSING GOAT JAM Old fashioned, small batch jam. Organic ingredients.
Our Products
Missing Goat Jam is made in my own commercial kitchen, with berries and fruit from organic farms in the Fraser Valley. I make fresh jam each week using old fashioned, slow cook, small batch methods. Each batch of jam makes only six jars and contains 3 lbs of fruit. I use three times more fruit than sugar. It’s infused with beautiful hints of herbs and spices and has no commercial pectin. This is jam like Grandma use to make - fresh, flavourful and from the heart.

Did you know? Tomatoes, Potatoes and Eggplants are all related? They are part of a family of plants known as “nightshades”. These plants are mostly toxic to humans, with the exception of a few of these delicious vegetables!

Year
Beer strengthens your bones due to the high levels of silicon which increases the deposit of calcium and other minerals into the bone tissue. The Rush University Medical Center proved that beer makes you 23% less likely to develop memory problems later in life. It is a good source of folic acid and Vitamin B12 which helps with memory and concentration. The expression ‘Rule of Thumb’ came from when brewers stuck their thumb into the mix during brewing to determine when the temperature was right to add the yeast. Beer has a greater protein and vitamin B content than wine, while its antioxidant content is equivalent to that of wine. Hops, a major component for brewing beer, are rich sources of flavonoids, which are potent antioxidants.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a model that connects farmers and individuals together. Consumers who are interested in eating healthy, fresh, locallyproduced food, purchase a share of a particular farming operation. Together the shareholders support their farm by sharing the risks and benefits of food production. It gives a small operation some capital upfront (when costs are highest) and gives the individuals a portion of the farm’s bounty.
