The Fernie Food Action Strategy is committed to identifying opportunities to improve access to local food in the City of Fernie and surrounding areas. This survey provides an opportunity for you to share your experience, successes and challenges with local food access, growing, and processing. The information from the survey will be used as a first step in developing strategies to address community food resiliency.
The Community Energy Association and Wildsight Elk Valley would like to acknowledge the support of the Real Estate Foundation of British Columbia. Survey participation makes you eligible to enter a draw for one of three $25 gift certificates to the new Fernie Local Food Store. Participation is for Fernie and area residents, is voluntary, anonymous and should take 15 to 30 minutes. The more candid and thoughtful information you can share, the better the team can develop an accurate view of the community’s food needs.

Rooftop Coffee Roasters

After brainstorming ideas all summer, Rooftop Coffee Roasters is excited to announce their newest packaging re-design, created in collaboration with designer Yaiza Saratxaga.
The goal of the design was to create a compostable bag that uses colour and illustration to highlight Rooftop’s beautiful hometown of Fernie while also communicating each coffee’s flavour profile.
Each of their six core flavour categories is associated with an illustration and colour palette. For instance, coffees with predominant tasting notes of berry are associated with an illustration of fresh huckleberries, and blends are represented by a design of Mount Fernie. From these core designs, each label is then a close-up snapshot of the main illustration, giving each coffee within that category a unique identity. All side-by-side on a shelf, these bags create a mosaic of colours and shapes, embodying both the spectrum of coffees on Rooftop’s menu and the vibrant town where they were roasted.
