WISE TRADITIONS  LIFESTYLE

Picture
Find local farms, markets, restaurants - sources for a WAPF Wise Traditions Lifestyle.  If you are aware of local Sooke and Metchosin area farms that could be added to this list, please contact Linda at [email protected].
Please note that not all of the places listed below have been visited by the Sooke Chapter.  It is the responsibility of the consumer to be satisfied that the farm's production methods and products offered meet their expectations.  Some farms are listed as Certified Organic, and many others are not certified but use organic practices to the best of their ability.  There are times when organic feed is not available on Vancouver Island.  It is safe to say that markets/restaurants that feature local food and our cherished local farmers are miles ahead of industrial agriculture and mega confined-livestock operations.  We are blessed with many producers who have exceptional knowledge around animal husbandry and land regeneration.

WAPF challenges our members and friends to help us celebrate twenty-five years of accurate information on diet and health by committing to support local farms.  We call it the 50-50 Pledge: spend at least 50 percent of your food dollar by purchasing raw milk and raw milk products, eggs, poultry, meat and produce directly from local farmers and artisans. With the other 50 percent of your food dollar you can celebrate how small the world has become and enjoy, for example, rice, pineapple and spices from other parts of the world.  Become a WAPF Member today!
One of the best sites to find local food in the area is BC Farms & Food (BCFF).  Search options and maps are included on the excellent and up-to-date BCFF site.  Another excellent place to look is the Sooke Region Food CHI Society.
Scroll down after the LOCAL FARMS list to see the sections FARMERS MARKETS and RESTAURANTS / SHOPS.
