Backyard Farm Chef's Table

Big thank you to Chef Chris for providing delicious food and instruction to local resident physicians for our annual welcome tour for the new doctors! He made us all feel very welcome, and helped us to really understand the connection between food production, delicious and healthy eating, and community. If you've never been here, you are missing out on an absolute gem! Chef Chris is engaging, intelligent and committed to providing sustainable food from local producers.

Our group of 8 was lucky enough to join Chef Chris for the most amazing farm fresh dining experience! Each course was a picture, and the flavours were outstanding. Chef sat at our table and shared his inspiration for each dish, including his motivation for creating Backyard Farm Chef’s Table, and the whole reason behind his current culinary choices, his customer service vision, and even how it all fits together within his own family. The food and the service team stand above all on their own… but with Chef Chris leading our journey personally, this was the best dining experience of our lives. We will be booking ahead early to join him again next season! Thanks, Matt

Chris has a unique offering in the beautiful Okanagan valley. His culinary skill, expert local sourcing and wonderful storytelling ability, combined with the one of a kind meal he creates for your group in an old farmhouse is one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Run, don’t walk - there is a reason he is booking a year in advance. Chris, I wish you every success - and am on the list please when you finally release your own cookbook. We will be back.

Without question, the finest culinary education and experience in the Okanagan valley. Chef Chris and his staff are simply incomparable.

The experience was the best ever. We were there as a group and it was fun. As the different courses were served, Chef Chris came and explained how each was made, where he sourced the ingredients, etc. He grows many of the vegetables and herbs on their 2-acre farm. When you enter the place, you instantly feel welcome and at home. We will be returning back soon. I suggest that if you are in the area, make a reservation. It is a long table dining experience, and who knows, you may make new friends.
