We are pleased to announce the launch of a new website to help consumers connect with local food options in their community as part of an ongoing effort to build, strengthen, and diversify the food and farm industries in BC’s Highway 16 region from Valemount to Terrace.
BeyondtheMarket.ca features a number of tools and information resources that will assist local chefs, caterers and individual consumers alike in offering fresh healthy choices on their menu and at home.
Resources include:
- A searchable directory of local farms offering direct sales
- A calendar of food and agriculture events in the region
- A list of all northern BC farmers’ markets
- Information and downloadable fact sheets on the different kinds of northern food products and their seasonal availability
- Monthly farm profiles
- Much, much more
BeyondtheMarket.ca will house news, updates and publications of the project, and will continue to grow as more work is done. The website even offers a digital subscription and archive for our quarterly newsletter so you can be kept up to date on what’s happening. Log-on today and let us know what you think!
