Authentic relationships with local partners – that’s how we’d describe our bond with our producers. We like to do business with people who pride themselves on producing the purest, freshest, most nutritious foods locally and affordably.
In order to make it to our Market it has to be full of unique goodness. That’s why we source the least-processed foods we can find, grown locally whenever possible.
Mike and Judy Campbell have been active in bee keeping since 1997 and own the Valley's only commercial cottage meadery. Their family-run farm produces a number of quality products including pure unpasteurized and creamed flavoured honeys including strawberry, maple, hazelnut, ginger and cinnamon.
Did you know the flavour of honey comes from the plants the honeybees visit - wildflowers, clover, canola, alfalfa, sunflowers, fruit trees and even blueberries! And our hardworking Canadian honeybees fly at 20 kilometers an hour with their wings beating 190 times per second!
The Campbell’s are passionate about what they do and keep themselves abuzz on all things honey. If you have more questions, honey, please contact our friends at www.bchoney.com
Goat’s Pride is the first Certified Organic Goat Dairy in Western Canada. Their fine milk, yogurts and cheeses are hand-made on their farm located in the beautiful Fraser Valley of British Columbia. Like us, they believe in the small family farm, humane and loving treatment of animals and sustainable farming practices.
They Pride themselves on running a low-tech operation that is labour intensive but produces a delicious, traditional cheese that will keep you coming back for more. That care extends into the treatment of their goats; they are fed a mixed diet of organic hay, grain and minerals, and the goats live in comfortable barns with access to pasture. Their pens are large, with plenty of room to eat, sleep and play!

The folks at Honeyview Farm have been working with bees for over 35 years. Taking care of honey bees and extracting their delicious honey is a lot of work, but the Awram family is certainly up to the challenge.
Many agricultural products are dependent on bees. Every year they put over 2000 of their hives in blueberry fields within the Lower Mainland. They also pollinate raspberries and cranberries. When you eat BC blueberries the chances are pretty good that they were pollinated by bees from Honeyview Farm.
Try their delectable liquid, flavoured or creamy honey next time you are at the Nutrifoods Market. Bee good to yourself and visit www.honeyviewfarm.ca.
The Farm House Natural Cheeses is part of a small family dairy farm located in lush green Agassiz, BC. Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, happy cows graze the fields to produce the rich fresh milk used for the cheeses made in our on-farm facility.
The whole family is involved, from daily milking and barn chores, hay-making and field work, to cheese making. As a family, they value the relationships built along the way-with nature, with the animals, with each other and ultimately with their customers. It is their wish to nurture and preserve the increasingly-threatened values and traditions of the family farm, and give customers the opportunity to connect with the farmers and animals producing their food.
