👩‍🌾 Thanks for Stopping By to Say Hi Last Night

Last night, we became Farmers Market People. We had a table at the Lonsdale Quay Market (which takes place every Wednesday, 3pm to 7pm), and were blown away how many of you we got to meet in person. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to have a chat - Katie lost her voice by the end of the night (for the best reason possible - so much talking!)

🍻 Last Week’s Giveaway Winner: Squamish Beer Fest Tickets

Reminder, last week we gave away 5 pairs of tickets to Squamish Beer Fest for the North Shore Crew. Shoutout to winners Pete, Samantha, Shay, Katrena, and Bergen - may your Beer Fest be hoppy and your hangover be gentle 🍻

Didn’t win? You can still show up, support a ton of local businesses, and enjoy some bevies from 55+ breweries, cideries and more. Grab your tickets at squamishbeerfestival.com (and let’s book the shuttle to keep it safe, mkay)

North Shore Brewery Poster

For those of you who are new here, we made a thing: a 2025 North Shore Brewery Print.

We partnered with local painter Erin Dobson to hand-paint 9 beer cans from some of your favourite North Shore breweries: Streetcar, Beere, Beva, Black Kettle, La Cerveceria Astilleros, Wildeye, House of Funk, North Point, and Bridge Brewing.

It’s 11'“ x 14” and is printed locally. Perfect for showcasing a little North Shore pride in your kitchen, bathroom, or over your bar fridge. We have prints on-hand, and are ready for your father’s day gift panic 😉
