Our Locally Sourced Products

At North Island Kayak, we are committed to supporting local farmers, producers, and suppliers whenever possible. By sourcing close to home, we ensure the freshest ingredients while strengthening our community and reducing our footprint. Here’s a look at some of the incredible BC and Canadian partners who help make our meals special:

Produce

• Much of our produce comes from BC farms via Sysco, including mushrooms, potatoes, apples, spinach, and more
• If BC products are unavailable, we source Canadian alternatives: Miss Vickie’s chips from Alberta, produce from Ontario, and eggs from Ontario
• Eggs are always free range when available, or free run

By choosing the freshest, closest ingredients, we deliver better flavour while supporting sustainable and responsible food systems in BC and across Canada.
