To help the food industry, BC Food & Beverage (BCFB) has launched the Protecting Our People (POP) program which provides access to PPE available for purchase online. The program is now offered nationally. Companies from the entire food supply chain within Canada, including agriculture, fish harvesters, food processing (including seafood processors) industry, and independent retail grocers, are now eligible to purchase PPE from this buying group.
Each Friday will feature 3 of the local farms, farm stands, wineries, or other app location where DOUBLE the points can be collected (20 points/visit instead of 10). This offer will expire the following Thursday each week.
Don't have the App yet yourself? Download it today from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Let the Taste Comox Valley app is your guide to exploring the Comox Valley’s extensive & diverse farms, markets & stands, wineries and other producers, safely and supporting local.
