    All that fresh local fruit and veg…. yum! Not like the stuff that travels thousands of miles and is completely tasteless. Especially blueberries.

    Berries are the best!!!

  168. Kelsey Ireland Saturday, June 29th, 2013 — 6:40pm PDT

    Well, I have to vote for @ErinIreland for being the best local sweet treat! What started as a family get-together favourite, has blossomed into an amazing local banana bread empire! I always buy a delicious loaf when I come across it around Vancouver. Way to go, cousin!

    It’s so hard to pick just one because every other week what is in season changes! So far I have really enjoyed fresh kale, strawberries and mustard greens. I’m really looking forward to beans, purple carrots, apples and beets. :). I have to give a shout out to the UBC Farm. That place is a real gem! <3
