PINT-SIZED URBAN GARDENERS
May 25, 2011

A while back we brought you a Joe’s post about urban agriculture for adults, why not for kids?

Growing Chefs is a fantastic local organization committed to educating school-aged kids about growing and cooking their own food and making more local & sustainable food choices. We think they are great.

Check out Nathan Fong’s article about Growing Chefs in today’s Vancouver Sun.


COPPER RIVER SOCKEYE
May 22, 2011

It’s sockeye season again!

Copper River sockeye salmon are among the world’s tastiest variety of fish and highly sought after by seafood lovers everywhere. The Copper River salmon season has turned into an annual celebration throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Hailing from Alaska’s long and steady Copper River, these salmon are bred strong and robust and boast a delicious and buttery flavour. We’re lucky to be in such close proximity to the breeding grounds of this yummy fish and thrilled to have Copper River salmon on offer at Joe’s for a limited time. Hurry in….
