The GOODS from GRAIN

Vancouver, BC | Join us as we forage into the world of Canadian grown and supported grains, with the lovely purveyors of GRAIN! Chef Annabelle Choi will be orchestrating a menu at Dock Lunch (152 East 11th Ave.) that reflects the people behind every story that GRAIN celebrates, with a summer harvest field picnic inspired by each of the farmers of the grains that will be used. Guests can anticipate a casual, comfortable, and intimate dining experience while sharing meals between other diners and the purveyors themselves. We hope to share this beautiful narrative through the art of storytelling and the shared experience of tasting. We have included the menu to encourage you to bring your own wine or beer to pair with what will be a final ode to local Vancouver farmer’s summer harvests:

ABOUT GRAIN

GRAIN is a new Vancouver-based wholesaler and retailer of Canadian, farmer-direct grains, pulses and seeds and a miller of fresh, whole grain flours.

GRAIN founders Janna Bishop and Shira McDermott source Canadian products exclusively, choosing high quality grains with total traceability, offering a complete story to customers looking for a stronger connection to the farmers growing their food. Realizing that Canada’s best dry goods are either exported or canned, GRAIN has set out to disrupt the traditional food supply chain by giving local consumers a taste of the prairies, supplying top-quality, nutrient-rich, Canadian dry goods with a story behind them. They offer classic Canadian grains like Hard Red Spring Wheat and durum, ancient grains like Khorosan and spelt, pulses like kabuli chickpeas and green lentils and seeds like Canadian golden quinoa.

Janna and Shira are constantly building new relationships with farmers across Western Canada, looking for new products — and the stories behind them — to bring to market. They are now packing retail and wholesale bags in their East Vancouver warehouse, eagerly awaiting the delivery of a hand-crafted stone grist mill from the Tyrolean mountains of Austria. When it arrives, GRAIN expects to immediately begin milling whole grain flours, offering healthy, fragrant and flavourful flour, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, protein and healthy oils.
