COLLABORATE

 We also lease several acres of cider apples in the Okanagan and work closely with a barley farmer in northern BC to ensure adequate supply of the best ingredients this province will grow. We share a small field turn apiary with Kathleen from Roberts Creek Honey. She’s an amazing bee keeper, growing superb honey much of which we use in a couple of our beers. She and others regularly hold workshops at Persephone to teach the world to be growers of their own. 

FARMING FOR ALL

Our market garden consists of approximately half an acre of field vegetables and two greenhouses producing a variety of fresh, local produce used in our tasting room kitchen, sold at our on site farm stand, at local farmers markets and to local restaurants and commercial kitchens.

All crops including grains, apples and veggies on our farm are grown using only organic practices to minimize impacts to our land, soils and waters. The spent grain from the brewery is composted on site and used to build our farm’s soil fertility. The flock of chickens eat up food scraps from the food truck and lay eggs which you can buy through our Tasting Room or farm stand to support the Sunshine Coast Association for Community Living (who manage the flock). 

ORGANIC GROWING PRACTICES

 PBC’s farm is not certified organic, however, we pride ourselves on employing only organic growing practices. PBC’s Integrated Farm Plan identifies five key areas within its operations that demonstrate our commitment to developing a multi-functional farm that will contribute to small farm and food systems as well as the local economy.
