F R E S H B C G R O W N FA R M P R O D U C T S w w w. b c f a r m f re s h . c o m Farm Fresh Reference Guide 2013 - 2014 1 Best Wishes from the BC Ministry of Agriculture What better place to discover new sources for local food than in the 2013 Fraser Valley Farm Fresh Guide? British Columbians want to access fresh, locally-grown agrifood products and this guide will help you find them. Our province has a very diverse food industry. Building the local market for B.C. foods is a key commitment of government’s Agrifoods Strategy, a component of the B.C. Jobs Plan, to lead the agrifoods sector growth into a $14-billion-a-year industry by 2017. British Columbia produces more than 200 farm commodities and more than 100 species of fish, shellfish and marine plants. Thanks to our hard-working producers and processors, the agrifoods sector generated close to $11 billion in revenues in 2011 and directly employed 61,000 British Columbians. Here in B.C. we have access to some of the healthiest, natural ingredients in our foods. When you buy local, you not only provide fresh, nutritious meals for your family; you are also supporting B.C. farmers and producers which, in turn, supports the B.C. economy. The Fraser Valley Farm Fresh Guide is much more than a directory of places to buy local agrifoods products. It also offers the opportunity for you and your family to explore the Valley - to meet the farmers, to learn more about where your food comes from and how it was produced, and to have fun doing it. Take a farm tour, go berry picking, lose yourself in a corn maze, visit a vineyard or an on-farm store - the choices are endless. We want to continue to build the passion for local foods in British Columbia. To keep up to date on the latest in B.C. foods and beverages I encourage you to visit: https://www.facebook.com/FoodsBC Hon. Norm Letnick Minister of Agriculture BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation offers a variety of different programs that help educate students on the value of agriculture. Whether students are digging in the garden or receiving some of BC’s best produce in the classroom, making sure they know where their food comes from is what we do best. The BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program, delivers fruits and veggies to over 1,400 BC public and First Nations schools throughout the province. The program gives students the chance to try a wide range of different produce, from baby cucumbers and peppers to apples and blueberries. Thanks to local growers who provide the fruits and veggies for the program, students have a greater appreciation of what it takes to produce food. Student chefs on the Take a Bite of BC are realizing how much better cooking can taste with fresh, locally produced product. 37 secondary school teaching kitchens participating in the program receive product from local producers at no cost. The generosity of these producers’ product donations gives student chefs the opportunity to work with fresh, top quality product 2 Farm Fresh Reference Guide 2013 - 2014 Encouraging students to grow their own food is another important way to get them to appreciate how hard farmers work to produce food for us. The Spuds in Tubs program gives students and teachers the tools and instructions on how to grow their very own potatoes right in the classroom. Since the students monitor the potatoes very closely from the time they plant them in March to the time they harvest in June, it instills in many of them a love of growing things that will hopefully carry on into adulthood. They get to experience the “highs” and “lows” of growing food, just like a farmer! This spring we have partnered with the BC Dairy Association to add milk to the BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program for K-2 students. We’re excited to add a new dimension to the program and create great new partnerships within the Dairy industry. Thanks to the partnership of so many valued BC growers we can continue to educate BC students on the value of supporting agriculture in our community.

Our farmers sell what they produce either directly from their farms or at area farmers’ markets. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Guide and our website at bcfarmfresh.com. Please continue to support your local farmers, the people who bring you fresh, wholesome, quality farm products for your families. The Farm Fresh Reference Guide and our website at bcfarmfresh.com have been very important contributors to consumer acceptance of local farm fresh products. Consumers continue to contact us to find area farms where they can get the fresh, nutritious local food that they are looking for. Take a look at our product index. You will find a wide range of local food and other agricultural products available. I urge you to be open to trying new products and visiting all of the farms in our Guide this year. On behalf of our farmers, I extend a special thank you to our many customers and the advertisers who support our farmers. The Guide is available at all our listed farms, but it is also distributed by various businesses such as Otter Coop, Minter Country Garden and the Vancouver Public library. Also, the Fraser Valley Library system helps us to distribute Guides through their member libraries as do many other public facilities such as Tourist Bureau. Most farmers’ markets in the area will have farm fresh guides available and we are present at most major agricultural events in this area.
