Local Food Matters

Ever wonder where your food comes from?

Many grocery store items travel thousands of miles by land or air before reaching your plate. This long journey impacts both quality and freshness. Nutrients degrade, flavours diminish, and shelf life suffers. While these items might seem like a bargain, the hidden costs are a loss of taste and potential health benefits.

But there’s a better way! By choosing local, you’re not just supporting the hard-working farmers and businesses in your community. You’re also getting fresher, more flavorful food. Locally sourced chicken, for example, arrives quickly, retaining its natural juices and delivering a superior taste experience. Plus, local produce often boasts a longer shelf life, meaning less waste and more value for your money.

At Island Farmhouse Poultry, we’re proud to partner with Vancouver Island suppliers, grocers, and farmers. Together, we’re building a sustainable food system. By choosing local, you’re not just feeding your family, you’re helping to ensure our community’s self-sufficiency and a brighter future for local agriculture.
