The prospect of buying local, fresh products is seeing steady growth.

The Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Okanagan map is moving into its fifth year and second year for the map.

91裸聊视频淭he maps continue to be well received and are becoming one of the most requested publications at visitor centres and other outlets,91裸聊视频� said Shayne Wright of Buy Local! Buy Fresh!

Places such as Armstrong91裸聊视频檚 Otter Lake Farm, Vernon91裸聊视频檚 BX Press and the Coldstream Creek Road Orchard are among some of the 48 listings, plus events, mapped in the publication. And it91裸聊视频檚 growing.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e planning to register 60 farms for 2017,91裸聊视频� said Wright.

91裸聊视频淟ast year we had a number of farms inquire to join in Coldstream and Lavington. We hope we can make space for them in next year91裸聊视频檚 edition.91裸聊视频�

Coldstream (as well as Vernon, Lake Country and other Okanagan communities) has been a sponsor of the map since it started five years ago. Wright would like to enter into a three to five year agreement with such sponsors.

But a couple Coldstream councillors have some hesitations.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 a little bit leary of seeing this continue into perpetuity,91裸聊视频� said Coun. Peter McClean, who suggested private sponsorship be sought.

91裸聊视频淚 looked at this as more of a helping hand to get started, not on a continual basis.91裸聊视频�

Wright says there is a possibility of some other region91裸聊视频檚 sharing the sponsorship with Coldstream, such as the Regional District of North Okanagan, if they are interested.

But, he adds: 91裸聊视频淭hey (farms) pay a pretty modest fee to participate. Hopefully the district can continue to provide some support.91裸聊视频�
