Celebrating Our #LocalRoots This Summer Season

This summer we invite you celebrate your #LocalRoots with healthy, nutritious turkey recipes!

The summertime is often a period of growth, warmth, joy, and abundance, and what better way to celebrate that than with farm-fresh, local turkey products? It’s also a treasured season for most BC residents as we take some much deserved time off to return home, spend cherished moments outdoors with family and friends, and enjoy delicious, local produce farmed right here in our province.

Local agriculture and farming truly shines at this time of year with farmer’s markets, fresh berries and fruits, and a truly staggering amount of local produce in our grocery stores. It’s a great time to pause and celebrate all the things that make our #LocalRoots shine, including Canada’s diverse cultures and flavours.

After a busy first half of the year, now we can reconnect with ourselves and our roots, returning to our hometowns, to family-favourite locations, and the places that make up our foundations. Pair this with the nutritional benefits of turkey and you have the perfect combination for summer.

July is all about Canadian Pride & Local Flavours

This July we invite you to join us as we focus not only on our #LocalRoots but also Canadian Pride & Local Flavours. As the month kicks off with Canada Day celebrations all across our province, we get to pause and reconnect over some delicious, healthy turkey snacks and meals!

We get it—you want to enjoy the outdoors in the best way possible by whipping up not only delicious but equally nutritious meals that sustain our local economy and your body. Because when you choose local, you not only help out Canadian farmers but also BC’s agricultural sector.

When it comes to producing healthy, safe options for our tables, it’s a no-brainer to invest in local turkey farmers by choosing labels and products that support them back. When searching for BC Turkey products, keep an eye out for the following labels!

Grill-Worthy Turkey Recipes

And with the summer heat comes a variety of grill-worthy turkey recipes! This is the best time of year to bust out your barbecue and try your hand at different cuts of turkey. Thanks to its nutritional value, every bite is full of lean protein, plenty of essential minerals and vitamins, and a delicious, fresh flavour that can accompany any number of spices and rubs.

A big part of celebrating Canadian Pride & Local Flavours is trying out the various cuisines that add to our nations. Thanks to an abundance of international influence, BC has plenty of flavours and recipes to try out while supporting your local turkey farmers.

There is so much to celebrate when we return to our #LocalRoots this summer!
