Local rainbow trout from Little Fort, British Columbia, is a highlight of Codfathers Seafood Market's season this year.

Most of Codfathers' products bear the Ocean Wise sustainability emblem.

All fish comes in whole and is butchered in-house at Codfathers. A must-try are the sweet, smoked candied salmon nuggets.

A flyer advertises an event, co-hosted by the Pacific Salmon Foundation and the Okanagan Nation Alliance, celebrating the return of the sockeye run to the Okanagan River. Sockeye salmon were nearly extinct 20 years ago.

The preferred method of transportation at Green City Acres, a pedal-powered urban farm, is by bicycle.

Local diners can enjoy high-quality, pesticide-free produce harvested within as little as an hour, thanks to Kelowna farmers like Curtis Stone of Green City Acres. Stone participates in SPIN (small-plot intensive) farming. Off season, Stone spends his time working as a public speaker and consultant on food-related issues and urban farming.

The Green City Acres crew consists of Curtis Stone, Dan Cantin, and Neko, the farm dog.
