Local Food
Dana Hospitality at the Cascades Cafe sources local products
The Fraser Valley boasts some of the most fertile farmland in the world, close to transportation routes and major urban centers.

Where the Cascades Cafe food comes from:
- Bread comes from Monte Cristo Bakery in Delta.
- Pork products come from Britco in Langley and Johnston’s in Chilliwack.
- Potatoes, potato chips, cabbage, fennel, beans and corn are grown in the Fraser Valley.
- Cranberries come from Richmond.
- Beef is a local product, locally processed.

- Chicken comes from small family-run businesses in Hallmark and Sunrise Poultry (Langley).
- Salmon is always BC wild-caught, and Oceanwise certified
