Farm To Table Revelstoke

Established in 2010, Terra Firma Farms is a small-scale, certified organic farm specializing in garden transplant and heirloom vegetables. They supply Revelstoke with a huge range of fresh produce, eggs, and meat. 

Barry from BA Sausages learned all about meat processing from his father when he was 12 years old. Now he supplies almost every pub in town with their burger patties! His meat is sourced locally and processed right here in Revelstoke. 

First Light Farm is a small farm in the Big Eddy and specializes in baby mustard greens, tomatoes, and various vegetables as the season progresses.

Bird Tree Urban Farm can be found at the LFI Revelstoke Farmers Market every Saturday. Their main property is located in 'South Side' which makes for convenient on-farm pick-ups.

Many restaurants in town have taken advantage of the variety of locally-grown produce. Dose Coffee uses regional produce for its entire menu. Here you can taste meat from BA Sausages. No matter which menu item you choose, if it has meat in it, you know it’s from Barry. Even the flowers on the table are from Woods Goods and you can grab a bouquet for yourself. 

The Quartermaster Eatery pairs BC meats and fish with local greens from First Light Farms. Terravita Kitchen is a true farm-to-table restaurant, sourcing ingredients right from Terra Firma Farms and like-minded farmers nearby. Freshly picked organic vegetables and eggs are delivered to the restaurant almost every day. The Nest by Eagle Pass Lodge (open during summer) and Woolsey Creek Bistro also source high-quality local ingredients for all of their dishes.

Sourcing your food locally has a variety of positive impacts. 

It’s a direct economic benefit to the community - helps to create jobs, increase local spending, and support your friends and neighbors. 

Reduces your carbon footprint - your food doesn’t have to travel as far.
Reduces packaging waste - there is significantly reduced packaging waste when you buy from small, local producers.

Health benefits - You’ll get organic produce and meat from happier, healthier animals. 
Terra from Terra Firma explains how farm-to-table restaurants reduce food waste. A menu that is built by a local food supply can adapt to produce seasonality and availability. Set menus don’t have this flexibility.

If you’d rather cook yourself, you can get a range of local ingredients in downtown Revelstoke. The farmer’s market takes place every Saturday in the summer and every other Friday in the winter.

Le Marche stocks local meat products and a variety of regional produce.

During your next dining experience in Revelstoke, take a moment to look down at your plate and be stoked that some of it probably came from just down the road or across the river.
