Food For Thought

January 28, 2004

Back to Tinhorn Creek
I'm just back from a snowy weekend in Oliver at the Tinhorn Creek Estate Winery. The vineyard is quiet, but there's lots of action in the winery. It's part two of my series, From the Grape to the Glass. I'm following the progress of a batch of pinot gris grapes as it gets closer to being wine ready to please your palate.

My series is being done with the assistance of Tinhorn Creek Estate Winery. To see photos from the September harvest, click here.

Canadian Olive Grove
Canada's only olive grove (so far) is on Pender Island, one of BC's Gulf Islands. Owners Andrew and Sandy Butt expect they may produce their first pressing of olive oil by 2007.

Forage Conference
The Forage Conference in Nanaimo was a fascinating exercise in learning about the benefits of raising animals for market strictly on pasture grass, and how and eating these animals can be more healthy than those raised on grain or in factory farm situations. To learn more about this concept, and where to purchase pasture-raised products, visit Jo Robinson's website.

The Highland Beef ranch I visited in the Cowichan Valley is Cloudcroft Farms, owned by Edward and Marianne Gibson.
