Little Creek Dressing

This one isn't from Summerland but it's really, really good. Little Creek Dressings are made from produce grown either on the owner's organic farm near Kelowna or obtained from local farmers. The "Original" dressing is by far my favorite these days. Not that greens are easy to come by, I miss the fresh lettuce.

Green Hills Organic Farm

Green Hills is run by organic farmer Joe Bienz. We buy our vegetables from him whenever possible at both the Summerland and Penticton farmer's markets. When he has fruit available we take advantage of that too. The raspberries are fantastic. I appreciate his quiet manner and good advice. If we were a little more proactive I'm pretty sure we could contact him directly and avoid the crapshoot of the markets. We don't tend to get out early and miss a lot of good stuff.

Certified Organic products: Assorted ground crops, assorted tree fruit, berries, forage

Purpose

This is a place to record all of my favorite locally sourced food & drink items. I hope that other Summerlanders will find it, take advantage of it and contribute their favorite places through comments or emails.
