This month Executive Chef Oliver Beckert is featuring Berkshire Pork & Peaches.
Fresh from Sloping Hill Farm in Qualicum Beach, a sweet seaside town on Vancouver Island, lives a brood of free range, heritage breed, “happy pigs.” An animal-friendly focus on healthy, humane farming leads to an exceptional quality of absolutely delicious, locally-grown pork. Fresh from Canada’s fruit bowl, the Okanagan has been producing peaches since the 1800’s. It just doesn’t get better than the plump, juicy peach varietals that hit their stride this month (also known as Peachfest in those parts).
