The Prince George Local Food Region
In the heart of British Columbia's rugged northern interior, the Prince George food scene is defined by a strong sense of community, northern resilience, and rich wilderness. The shorter, intense growing season inspires incredible creativity among local farmers, who utilize innovative greenhouse techniques and hardy heritage varieties to produce crisp, flavorful field crops. The region is highly celebrated for its wild-foraged forest treasures, including sweet northern berries and unique mushrooms, alongside excellent pasture-raised meats and raw honey apiaries. Prince George residents take great pride in local self-reliance, gathering weekly at bustling community markets to stock up on fresh foods. It is a welcoming, down-to-earth landscape where neighbors warmly support conscious growers and celebrate the natural bounty of the north.
The Prince George region includes cities and towns like Bear Lake, Fort Fraser, Fort St. James, Fraser Lake, Giscome, Hixon, Loos, McLeod Lake, Quesnel, Red Rock, Salmon Valley, Summit Lake, Vanderhoof, and Wells.
