2 Farm & Food Directory Central Kootenay www.centralkootenayfood.ca 2022

This Directory 

is your guide to 

locating food 

grown, raised 

and processed 

in our region. 

Whether you are 

an area resident who 

wishes to eat close to home, a 

processor who wants to source more 

local ingredients, a restaurateur who 

wishes to feature the bounty of the 

Central Kootenay on your menu, a 

tourist who wants to sample local fare, 

or a farmer who wants to know what 

the market opportunities are, this 

Directory is for you. 

Among the nooks and crannies of 

the Central Kootenay is a diversity 

of farms, big and small, as well as 

numerous processors. From cherries 

to potatoes, from tofu to charcuterie 

When you buy local food you are: 

About the CKFPC 

The mission of the Central Kootenay 

Food Policy Council is to build a just, sustainable 

and prosperous food system in 

our region by identifying challenges and 

opportunities and by advocating for effective 

policy. The Council was formed 

in 2016 with the vision of catalyzing the 

work already underway on food systems 

in the region by consistently linking people 

and projects across the region. We 

focus on education and policy in order 

Welcome to the Central Kootenay 

Farm & Food Directory! 

and cannabis, our region benefits from 

a host of dedicated, passionate and 

creative entrepreneurs who contribute 

the fruits of their labour to our tables. 

Explore the offerings in the different 

areas of the Central Kootenay or 

narrow in on a few favourite products 

and find out who has them and 

where they are located. The Directory 

also allows those so inclined to 

seek out and support businesses 

owned by Indigenous, Black, other 

People of Colour, Queer and Youth 

entrepreneurs. Each business entry 

includes information on when and 

where their products are available 

and how to contact them. And if you 

are not certain when things may be 

ready, check out the Seasonal Guide 

on page 26. 

The map on the centre pages will 

inspire you to explore the wide range of 

• getting fresh, tasty, nutritious food; 

• helping to keep family farms and processors in business; 

• preserving our rural landscape; 

• supporting ecological diversity; and 

• helping to build a resilient food economy in our own region. 

to support and to not be in competition 

with the good work of our members. 

Our Council members represent communities, 

farms and food businesses, 

non-profits, and local governments in the 

Central Kootenay. This enables an ongoing 

two-way flow of information that 

guides our work and helps to determine 

our priorities. 

Find out more at: ckfoodpolicy.ca 

food offerings in the Central Kootenay. 

For those who may be struggling 

with food insecurity, we have a list of 

emergency food services on page 

27 that includes information on what 

services they offer, their location and 

when they are available. 

An online version of the Directory is 

found at centralkootenayfood.ca 

where you can explore the list of farms, 

products and food processors. Like the 

print version, you will also find a listing 

of farmers markets, food festivals, and 

farm & food organizations based in 

the region.

Why support the local 

food economy? 

Local farms preserve rural areas for future generations. Once 

lost to development, agricultural land is generally lost forever, 

not only as a source of food, but also as a source of beauty. 

It is the beauty of the Kootenays that draws the artists, 

the tourists and those who wish to live in a green 

and healthy environment.

What can ranchers and farmers do to help 

prevent the spread of invasive species? 

Invasive species are a major concern 

when it comes to food security. In BC, 

crop loss from invasive plants and pests 

are estimated at over $50 million annually. 

Species such as invasive knapweed 

out-compete desired species; reduce 

forage quality and lower crop values. 

Prevention, early detection and control 

are the best tools when it comes to invasive 

species management. 

• Learn to identify the invasive species in 

your area. 

• Report any priority sightings. The earlier 

invasive species are detected, the easier 

and more economical it is to control 

them. Assistance may be available for 

managing top priority plants. 

• Work Clean Go! Clean your boots, gear, 

truck bed, tires and harvesting equipment 

before moving to the next site. 

• Avoid mowing or driving though patches 

of invasive plants that are in seed. 

• Be sure to control invasive plants adjacent 

to fields. 

• Ensure your seed sources are free of 

noxious weed contamination 

• Use weed-free hay - Find out where 

your hay and straw come from and 

avoid contaminated sources.

your area:

Pictured here, left to right are rush skeltonweed, which reduces crop quality and yield, blueweed, a plant that can be toxic to horses and cattle when 

ingested, and wild parsnip, a toxic plant that can cause severe painful blisters in humans and livestock. Educate yourself about the invasive species in 

your area and help keep them under control.

Everything 

has a Season.... 

Did you know that the Central Koo- 

tenay has 2 fully licensed abattoirs 

that, between them, serve all species 

of animals raised here? Sourc- 

ing meat from locally raised and 

processed animals is a great way to 

ensure that they are humanely raised 

and slaughtered. And just like most 

other foods we eat, fresh meat is 

seasonal as well. In the Central Koo- 

tenay we can access fresh beef and 

pork almost year-round, though the 

most common season for both is the 

fall through mid winter. 

Lamb and chickens are available 

from early summer through late fall, 

and turkey is generally raised to 

be ready for the Thanksgiving and 

Christmas feasts. Well-packaged 

frozen meat is high quality and 

available year-round.

We hear the phrase all the time... but what is food security? 

Food security is commonly associated with 

hunger and the inability of an individual or 

family to access enough food for their needs. 

More broadly, food security is about the degree 

of control we have in the present and in 

the long term over the food we need to feed 

ourselves, our families and our communities. 

The measure of our or any community’s compassion 

and health can be found in how well 

we care for our disadvantaged members. 

The Central Kootenay is fortunate to have many 

generous, dedicated and creative service providers 

who ensure food is available for those 

who need it in our communities. Check out the 

listing of Emergency Food Services so you know 

where to go should you have need, and you 

know who would benefit from food and money 

donations if you have excess. 

The Farm & Food Directory is one of several projects helping 

to make our food systems more resilient and strengthen the 

regional food economy.
