What the Fungus Mushrooms
Brian Callow and his family are the team behind What The Fungus, a specialty mushroom farm based in Summerland, BC. Founder and co-owner Brian has spent more than a decade mastering the art and science of mushroom cultivation, combining a passion for mycology with an innovative and environmentally conscious approach to farming.
What The Fungus grows a seasonal selection of indigenous and exotic mushrooms using locally sourced, wood-based substrates from throughout the Okanagan. With sustainability at the heart of the farm, the Callow family continually explores new growing techniques, mushroom strains and ways to make use of local organic materials that might otherwise go to waste.
Deeply connected to their community, Brian and his family have built What The Fungus around a shared belief in growing exceptional food locally, responsibly and with plenty of curiosity along the way.
LocalMotive
Thomas and Celina Tumbach, together with their family, are deeply rooted in the Okanagan’s organic farming community. They founded LocalMotive in 2005 with a vision to better connect local farmers with the people they feed, while building a stronger and more sustainable regional food system.
Today, the family farms at Garnett Hollow Organic Farm in Summerland’s Garnett Valley, where they grow a diverse range of organic vegetables, berries, herbs and flowers. Their approach is grounded in organic and regenerative agriculture, with a focus on building healthy soil, conserving water, supporting biodiversity and growing fresh, nutrient-dense food for their community.
For the Tumbach family, farming goes beyond what they grow. Through LocalMotive, they continue to connect local producers with consumers, support the viability of small farms and help inspire the next generation of Okanagan farmers.
Codfathers Seafood Market
Codfathers is a sustainable seafood market serving the Okanagan. We believe in supporting small businesses that share our sustainability values, and fish or harvest using methods that respect the environment and coastal communities. We’ve proud to have worked alongside Poplar Grove for many years now as they share so many of our values—and make truly beautiful food with our fish! We’re a full-service fishmonger and we make sure that we use every part of the fish from fin to tail. Nothing is wasted, we make stocks in-store and even sell ‘fish mix’ packs which use trim from all our premium seafood fillets and steaks. Everything is used to bring you the best possible sustainable seafood. That’s all part of how we do things here at Codfathers: respect the ingredients and use every piece. From seacuterie and fresh-shucked oysters to whole fish, hand-cut fillets, live shellfish and more here at Codfathers we believe in eating in harmony with the ocean.
