The Farm to Fork Movement

With the hyper-fertile Pemberton Valley just up the road, Whistler restaurants like Araxi have taken the “eat local” in season mission to heart. Nita Lake Lodge, Creekbread Pizza, the Whistler Farmers’ Market and more all close the distance between farm and fork. In the summer you can dine on an exclusive farm-to-table menu by Araxi’s internationally recognized Chef James Walt at a Longtable Dinner or check out the popular Slow Food Cycle in Pemberton.
