First B.C. Grocer to Offer All Local OpensBrambles Market, the first grocer in B.C. to offer strictly British Columbia products, recently opened in the town of Courtenay (two-and-a-half hours north of Victoria). Owners James and Angeline Street have been working on the concept of their "all B.C. all the time" grocery store for five years. The Streets use as many local producers as they can, and many of the names in their store are familiar ones from the Comox Valley Farmers' Market, such as Heavenly Goodies Bakery, Estevan Tuna, Island Bison and Big D's Bees honey. http://www.bclocalnews.com/business/36013909.html Source: Canadian Grocer E-Newsletter, Dec. 19, 2008
