We serve Island-roasted Aroma coffee and locally harvested Red Cedar teas! The Comox Valley has so much to offer including creamy cheeses, organic meats and beautiful, seasonal produce. <strong><em>WHL: Why is supporting a contest like WHL important to Taku?<\/em><\/strong> <strong>ER:<\/strong> We are teaming up with WHL because we love what you do.\u00a0 We love promoting local farmers, fishers, hunters and growers in our own community and then of course love all the other BC producers as well.\u00a0 We believe strongly in supporting sustainable food practices and voting with our forks, and what better way than to partner with other folks doing the same work, such as WHL!
