Travel to Eat Local Food in BC

Posted by Lori Henry Oct 2, 2008

If you like fresh food, like dining in restaurants that support local farmers, and are in Vancouver this October, you’re in luck. Eat BC! has just launched a new campaign for foodies that involves local growers, producers and… BCAA?

All you have to do is visit the Eat BC! website and search for participating restaurants, hotels and retailers (there are over 200 this year!). Then, get over to your favourites and order one of their “Eat BC! Signature Dishes,” marked on the menu. This ensures that the plate you’re about to eat is completely made from products from British Columbia.

On top of that, if you’re a BCAA member, bring your membership card with you. When you flash it to your server, they’ll bring you a free dessert. Yum.

Contests

There are also two contests: one year of two-nights stays at the Best Western and one year of free dining every week. All you have to do is fill out a ballot at each of the participating restaurants, hotels and retailers you visit during the month of October. Pretty sweet!

So come out and support the local agricultural industry in British Columbia.
