Hmmm…. so i guess i’ll comment….?
1. Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon
2.
a) promotes growing and eating your own food – stop relying on truck passing through borders and customs for a jar of peanut butter
b) reduces your carbon footprint by eliminating unnecessary fuel usage to transport a bag of frozen peas from california to vancouver.
c) the more you plant, the cleaner the air, not to mention locally grown (and grown well) produce tastes unlike anything you’re likely to taste anywhere else…. what does a tomato really taste like?)
3. Cowichan Bay, Naramata
4. clams, beef, brussel sprouts, potatoes, mushrooms
5. no clue about the picture of the resto, so here are some bad guesses: l’altro buca, pastis bistro, pair bistro, fraiche, or bishop’s??

…. ha.

1. Alisa Smith, J.b. Mackinnon
2. Supports local economy, sustainability and independence, better tasting food with less processing!
3. Naramata & Cowichan Bay
4. Squash, onions, Brussels sprouts, celeriac & potatoes
5. I don’t know… but I am guessing Raincity Grill, which I have still never been to but I know they are very supportive of 100 mile and food security.
