SEEN IN VANCOUVER #352: A Look Inside “Harvest Community Foods” On Union Street

Portrait

Pretty stoked about Harvest Community Foods, which just opened over the weekend at 243 Union Street. The shelves are a little sparse to start off, but we picked up some great cheese from Golden Ears (mmm, Neufchatel), plenty of organic kale, and some salmon burgers from Daily Catch. Plus their steam buns are pretty amazeballs! Check it out for yourselves.

The event saw a special collaboration between The Acorn and Wilsons from Bristol, UK. Although I wasn’t among the lucky ones to score a spot at either of the sold out seatings, I was invited to slip by pre-service for a glimpse of what was to come.
