After reading Animal Vegetable Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver this Spring I have been thinking a lot about eating seasonally and eating locally. It has spurred me on to grow my own vegetables this year for the first time in over 20 years. Also I have been wanting to find a source of local ethically treated meat. On Friday night at a party I was talking to someone who told me about Hopcott Meats Which is located in Pitt Meadows just about 15 or 20 minute drive away. So Saturday, we made a field trip to Hopcott's
It was easy to find located right on the farm. As it is only mid May (and a cool one at that) there was not much in the way of local produce, but they had a chart on the wall showing availability.
I can't wait to come in August. Though they were not listed on this board, they did have some local rhubarb and Hungarian pepper, which can only assume were greenhouse grown.
