Local Suppliers Who Inspire Us; Introducing Polderside Farms
Polderside Farms is the result of dedication, integrity and love of Jens-Hugo & Virginia Jacobson. Married for over 40 years, Jens and Virginia have been farming for most of their life together but started raising Chickens, Duck and Lamb for sale 3 years ago. Every Thursday Virginia personally delivers her naturally fed ducks and chicken to us. Each week we have the opportunity to connect with Virginia, converse about the trials and tribulations of the season and continue to grow the relationship between chef and farmer.
Polderside Farms is a certified organic farm and is also BC SPCA certified.
This means that Virginia and Jens are recognized for treating their poultry and animals with dignity, humane care and are devoted to making sure their birds and animals have the best life possible before becoming food.
I asked Virginia, if there is anything she would like our guests to know about Polderside Farms. She said “We absolutely love what we do. We feel blessed to grow the food that we grow and live on a farm. We are simple folk, anything you want to know, just ask.”

OUi CHEF!
Chilled Chilliwack Corn Soup
20 ears of Chilliwack Corn
4 tablespoons Cold Butter
Salt (to taste)
– Recipe suited for 4 people
Find the freshest corn you can, preferably picked that day. Take the husks off of the corn and grate all of the kernels on a box grater until the cobs have no juice left in them (this is kind of messy). Take the juice you just made and squeeze it through cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. You should have a yellowish liquid free of debris. Bring this liquid to 85C over medium heat, whisking all the time. Once you have reached 85C, it should have thickened slightly. Season with salt, and add about a tablespoon of cold butter for every 5 ears of corn used, and whisk in off the heat. Chill rapidly and enjoy!!
