THE STORIES OF LOCAL FOOD

Sitting down to a dinner table full of food grown, raised and processed locally is one of the most incredible parts of everyday life in the Comox Valley.

Get to know your local farmers, ranchers and food producers through the intimate profiles of Our Big Earth’s Farm to Family – an ongoing series connecting families to their food and the people who produce it.

We’ve met some absolutely incredible people and experienced some awe inspiring places like:

- Gerry Pattison from Pattison’s Certified Organic Farm in Black Creek

- The warm women of Finlay Creek Farm.
