Meet BC Dairy Farmers: The Gourlay Family

by @ [BCDairy] News or Article

Meet Raymond Gourlay and his family, located in Parksville, BC. Raymond and his family are local dairy farmers and cheese-makers dedicated to producing high quality dairy products.

How old were you when you knew you wanted to be a dairy farmer?

Choosing this path was quite a process for me  - as a kid I was pretty sure I didn’t want to farm. I went to university to study Christian Ministry but while I was there I worked on a dairy farm and started reconnecting with the industry. In my early 20s I began realizing my passion for agriculture, the local food industry and all the values of living on a farm, working in a family business, etc. My young family and I recently moved back onto the family farm and it’s a dream come true!

What do you love most about being a dairy farmer? Why?

Especially now that I have a son of my own, it doesn’t get any better than working on a family farm and being nearby for him all day. I love contributing to an industry I really believe in and working with family and a great team of employees. In our business, Little Qualicum Cheeseworks, we have the privilege of not only producing milk but turning it into cheese. Having so many different aspects to our operation definitely keeps the work exciting. Artisan cheese is really something that brings people together – our customers buy it for special occasions and to share with loved ones. I count it a privilege to create a product that not only sustains people but fosters those kinds of social connections.

What is the biggest challenge in dairy farming today?

The challenge that comes to mind immediately is the general public’s increased concern and the level of scrutiny applied to the dairy industry today. We feel it acutely as a farm that is open to the public, for free, on a daily basis. People want to know where their food comes from and how it is produced. That challenge is also our biggest opportunity though – we go to great lengths to create a farm that is a welcoming atmosphere to the public and is a genuine and transparent demonstration of modern dairy practices. We’re proud of our farm and our industry and thankful for the ongoing opportunity to show it off.

What’s one thing you wish you could tell consumers about dairy farming?

Happy cows make great milk. For all kinds of reasons, dairy farmers are always looking for ways to make their cows healthier, happier, and to reduce stress in the whole herd. We take animal welfare and milk quality seriously. We believe in our product and our industry and we’re proud of its contribution to our country as a whole.

How many hired staff do you have (part/full time)?

Given that we have a complex cheese-making operation and a tourism destination we have about 15 year-round staff with an additional 8 during the high season.

What family members are involved with your operation, and what are their responsibilities?

My grandparents are great brand advocates in grocery stores and at farmers markets; my Dad is our general manager; my Mom is our cheese plant manager (and president); my brother John is a herdsman, and brother Kevin is in university but working hard on the farm all summer; my wife just graduated from university and goes to markets periodically; and I work in cheese-making, marketing, and sales. It’s a family affair!

What is your primary breed? If it is other than Holstein, why did you choose this breed?

Most of our cows are Holstein but we’ve cross-bred to breeds like Brown Swiss, Guernsey, and Canadienne over the years, so there’s quite a bit of colour in our herd. I’d say there was a grand strategy but the cross-breeding is mostly just for fun!

Are you primarily dairy focused? Do you have any other animals, or are you involved in any other type of agriculture?

We first and foremost are a dairy farm, but my Mom has a thing for horses and our visitors love to see other animals so we keep a collection of animals like miniature donkeys, sheep, goats, rabbits, guinea hens, and more… all “lawn ornaments” as we call them!

What’s your favourite dairy product?

It’s got to be cheese. I always gravitate to the firm alpine-style cheeses made with raw milk – the kinds that have that thick rind and strong smell. We make two Swiss inspired cheeses: Raclette and Rathtrevor (Gruyere) and I could pretty much stick with them for life. I’m also crazy about this super rare Central-Asian beverage called Ayran; it’s a thin yogurt drink but instead of being sweetened it’s flavoured with salt. It sounds odd to our palette but it’s the most refreshing drink I’ve tasted!

Are your kids interested in continuing the family business? If not, what do they “want to be when they grow up”?

We’re at that point now where we’re the kids! We’re excited to continue taking on more responsibility on our farm and ultimately, continue to grow it into a business and a lifestyle that is attractive to our own kids when they grow up.

Seasonal Roasted Vegetable Bowl with Kale Pesto, Lentils and Barley

by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

Ever thought about what’s in season in March? There is no question that Spring has arrived- the flowers are out in full force and the winter jackets have been put back into storage. But even though the cherry blossoms are in bloom, not much is being harvested from the veggie gardens at this time of year. Luckily, last years parsnips, carrots and beets have been kept cold in cellars for us all winter so we can still enjoy last seasons bounty while we wait for the new years crop. “Root vegetables such as carrots, beets, parsnips, turnips, potato and onion can be stored all winter long and are great additions to any winter or early spring dish.” I love this guide from Get Local BC which shows what produce is in season by month. It even extends to seasonal seafood and meat and dairy. Lucky for us kale and mushrooms are pretty much always in season. To create this dish, choose your favourite seasonal root vegetables, roast them and serve on top of barley. This dish can also be made gluten free by using quinoa. This recipes uses a Kale Pesto Recipe which I created for my Winter Kale Pesto […]

Two-Ingredient Gluten-Free Cheesecake [Labna Cheesecake]

by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

Tis the season for endless treats. There is no escaping them – at work, a holiday potlatch, a thoughtful edible gift. A small amount of [ideally natural] sugar enjoyed in the company of friends and loved ones is an important part of social relationships and our food culture. We know that when we do have something sweet, balancing it out with a good source of protein or healthy fat can help dampen the effect on our blood glucose (sugar) levels. This helps us to avoid the post-dessert sugar spikes and corresponding drops and for this I am sharing my new favourite go-to healthy dessert. Labna, or yogurt cheese, is high in protein and good fats and makes the base for this two-ingredient gluten-free cheesecake. Labna is simple to make at home and what this high-protein dessert lacks in difficulty, it makes up for in taste. “Combining a good source of protein or healthy fats with your carbohydrates or sugars helps to stabilize blood glucose levels and decrease the post-dessert sugar spikes, and corresponding drops. Try adding Greek yogurt, nuts or seeds, or nut butters to your desserts for stable blood glucose levels.” Labna is traditionally eaten in Middle Eastern countries, […]

What You Want To Know About Tea & A Fairtrade Berry Cucumber Iced Tea Recipe

by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

It’s spring time in Victoria and beautiful sunny afternoons are spent on the patio with friends and a nice cold drink in hand. My new housemate Sage came up with the delicious concoction one afternoon and I thought it would be great to share. This naturally sweetened beverage with subtle hints of berries and the freshness of sliced cucumbers is super simple to make and is a no calorie drink that can be enjoyed any time of the year. But first… lets talk tea. What’s In Your Tea? Tea originated in India thousands of years ago and is now the most popular drink in the world after water. Tea leaves contain fluoride, potassium, iron, niacin, protein and a range of minerals. When made into a drink, however, the quantity of tea used contributes to very little of these nutrients, with the exception of fluoride. It is interesting to note that a cup of tea contains more fluoride from the tea leaves than from the water used to make it. Tea and Health There are numerous studies showing potential health benefits for regular tea drinkers, including decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as increased bone and dental health.

Hunter Gatherer Part II: Wild Blackberries and A Conscious Jam Recipe

by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

This season was my first blackberry season. Growing up in northern BC we had salmonberries, blueberries and huckleberries… but nothing that grows as feverishly as wild blackberries. After my fair share of thorns and bloody arms I had enough berries to make jam… but what sugar to use? Honey had taken main stage on my shelves but that wouldn’t do for jam. Are there environmental and ethical factors to consider when buying sugar? What To Consider When Buying Sugar Say no to sugar beets – All of the sugar beets produced in Canada are genetically modified to be resistant to glycophosate ie Roundup Ready. In Canada 10% of our sugar consumed is from beet sugar; the USA is at 50%. Initial approval of GMO sugar beets by the USDA was revoked by a federal judge for violating the law by failing to perform a full environmental impact statement for the crop. Unfortunately GMO sugar beets had crowded out the market and the USDA defied the judges order GMO sugar beets were planted galore. Make sure it’s labeled cane sugar – If it is not labelled cane sugar that means it is probably coming from beet sugar. Look for the Fair […]

Blueberry Kefir Post-Workout Snack

by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

Every day there is new research emerging on the importance of our gut and resident microbes. From influencing the risk of diabetes to obesity, and anxiety to depression, we know that our tiny little microbes rule our world and we are just starting to understand how to keep them happy. Kefir is a fermented milk drink which contains a large number of beneficial bacteria; aiming for at least one fermented food a day is a good habit to get into and helps ensure a healthy colony of good bacteria is residing in our gut. Alongside the beneficial bacteria, this Blueberry Kefir Post-Workout Snack also has the perfect ratio of carbohydrates and proteins for a post-workout snack. By offering a quick refuel and a load of beneficial bacterial this post-workout snack really can be, and should, enjoyed at any time of the day. “Kefir typically contains three times the amount of probiotic cultures than yogurt and uses 10 to 20 different types of probiotic bacteria and yeasts while most yogurts use only a few. Kefir offers around 40 billion probiotic organisms per half cup.” Diet plays a huge role in making sure our beneficial bacteria are thriving, and the food that […]

Are there antibiotics and growth hormones in Canadian milk?

by @ [BCDairy] News or Article

No. 100% No. Canadian milk does not contain artificial growth hormones or antibiotics.

Maybe you’re hedging your bets and substituting alternative beverages on occasion. Well, you might be relieved to know that

  • They always ensure their milk is free of antibiotics.

While the administration of growth hormones (known as rBST or rBGH) is allowed in US dairy livestock, it is illegal in Canada and therefore not permitted for use with any dairy cows.

Antibiotics

As for antibiotics, BC has some of the highest standards for milk production in the world with zero tolerance for antibiotic residue in both organic and conventionally produced milk. Farmers continually monitor their cows’ health in order to ensure their well-being. Cows need to be healthy and content in order to produce optimal amounts of high quality milk. When cows are sick and require antibiotic treatment, the milk they produce is discarded for a regulated period of time to ensure the milk collected at the farm is free of antibiotic residue.  

Antibiotic Testing

Every, and we mean every, truckload of milk is tested before being unloaded at the processing plant. Milk samples are taken at every farm. If the sample contains antibiotics (because let’s face it no one is 100% perfect all the time), then the entire load is discarded and the farmer who contaminated the load is heavily penalized. 

So, what kind of growth hormones and antibiotics are in milk?

NONE. Canadian milk has no artificial growth hormones and antibiotics. It is also nutritious—and chock-full of vitamins and minerals.


Extensive quality checks and testing ensure that BC—and Canadian—consumers purchase high quality, safe and nutritious dairy products.  For more details about milk production standards, check out the brochure “The Importance of Quality Milk”.

Wild Blackberries and A Conscious Jam Recipe

by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

This season was my first blackberry season. Growing up in northern BC we had salmonberries, blueberries and huckleberries… but nothing that grows as feverishly as wild blackberries. After my fair share of thorns and bloody arms I had enough berries to make jam… but what sugar to use? Honey had taken main stage on my shelves but that wouldn’t do for jam. Are there environmental and ethical factors to consider when buying sugar? What To Consider When Buying Sugar Say no to sugar beets – All of the sugar beets produced in Canada are genetically modified to be resistant to glycophosate ie Roundup Ready. In Canada 10% of our sugar consumed is from beet sugar; the USA is at 50%. Initial approval of GMO sugar beets by the USDA was revoked by a federal judge for violating the law by failing to perform a full environmental impact statement for the crop. Unfortunately GMO sugar beets had crowded out the market and the USDA defied the judges order GMO sugar beets were planted galore. Make sure it’s labeled cane sugar – If it is not labelled cane sugar that means it is probably coming from beet sugar. Look for the Fair […]

Are you a Kindergarten/Grade 1 teacher in Vancouver or Surrey interested in healthy eating?

by @ [BCDairy] News or Article

If you teach in Vancouver or Surrey, you have the opportunity to take part in an exciting study! Researchers at UBC are studying the impact of the Food Explorers program on children’s willingness to try new foods.

Are you a Kindergarten/Grade 1 teacher interested in healthy eating? We have an exciting study to share with you. Researchers at the University of British Columbia are studying the impact of the Food Explorers program on children’s willingness to try new foods. If you take part in the study, you will receive a $100 mini food grant to teach the program, with no need to apply for a grant. 

What's required from the teacher

  • Be willing to start the Food Explorers program in the Fall 2017 (shortly after receiving the mini food grant
  • Complete online questionnaires at the beginning (Fall 2017) and end (Spring 2018) of the Food Explorers program on your experience teaching the program
  • Help us send and collect consent forms and questionnaires for parents to complete at the beginning and end of the program
  • Help coordinate two in-school assessments of diet in children in your class (~1 hour each time). Assessments will be conducted by researchers with minimal disruption to classroom activities.

    To participate or for more information, please contact the research team at 604-822-1397 or email Gaya Murthy at food.explorers@ubc.ca

    Chanterelle Barley Risotto with Kale and Mung Beans

    by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

    This week I am doing the Welfare Challenge to bring awareness to the inadequacy of welfare rates in BC. Here in our beautiful province a person on welfare receives only $610 per month. When this is broken down and basic accommodation, phone and personal hygiene are accounted for only $18 per week is left for food. World Food Day is just around the corner on October 16th, making this a good time for us to take on the challenge and experience how difficult living off a strict food budget can be. I’m only on Day 2 and can only imagine the stress and weight that someone trying to feed themselves or a family may feel. I am fortunate enough to have the background and education to be able to make healthy and smart food choices on a budget and already I feel better equipped to help those that may not be. With the help of some foraging, this Chanterelle Barley Risotto with Kale and Mung Beans can be prepared for just under $0.45 per serving. “Mung beans are an inexpensive source of protein, as well as dietary fibre, magnesium, potassium, zinc, folate and other B-vitamins” Getting to spend the weekend […]

    Creamy Summer Slaw with a Yogurt Dressing

    by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

    The summer markets are bursting with berries, stone fruit and fresh tomatoes. With the overload of delicious blueberries and wild blackberries we sometimes forget about the more humble harvests. Cabbage springs into season in summer and has a lengthy season lasting over 6 months depending on the climate. Cabbage is also packed full of antioxidants and is an easy addition to summer salads, BBQs and stir-fries. I’m sharing one of my favourite recipes -Creamy Summer Slaw with a Yogurt Dressing, adapted from My New Roots Sarah Brittons’s Cookbook Naturally Nourished. Her version is a beautiful creamy autumn slaw, using seasonal Brussels sprouts and apple. I’ve revamped it to suit the summer months, showcasing one of the most undervalued vegetables on our shelves – cabbage of course. “The impressive amount of antioxidant phytonutrients in cabbage is one key reason why cabbage intake is liked to decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Red cabbage is especially high in anthocyanin which provides cardiovascular protection.” I see many clients who have a hard time getting enough vegetables into their day. The minimum amount is 2 ½ cups of cooked vegetables per day or 5 cups of salad. Coleslaw is an easy way to switch up […]

    True or False: Should Adults Drink Milk?

    by @ [BCDairy] News or Article

    We’ve all heard the milk myth that adults shouldn’t be drinking milk and wondered, is drinking milk in adulthood actually good for you?

    Let us help YOU answer these questions.  

    History of Milk

    It is estimated that humans have consumed dairy products from cows, sheep and goats for at least 10,000 years. 

    Archaeological evidence from as far back as the Neolithic revolution (8000 BCE), points to the use of milk in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

    Humans are a successful species because we’ve learned how to use, create and invent from what we find around us. We still use milk to this day because it has proved to be positive for both our nutrition and our longevity. It’s interesting—and somewhat remarkable—that scientists have already discovered four separate instances of human’s genetic evolution to digest milk.

     Science of Milk 

    The rapid rise of these genes attests to the value milk brings to the people who drink it, or in the words of geneticists, “strong selective pressure”. It’s a dominant gene, and the ability to digest lactose continues to spread with globalization. If you are able to drink milk—and most of us are—the truth about milk is that drinking it provides a big advantage. And it’s healthy.  

    Not only is milk loaded with nutrients from protein to vitamins and minerals, but exciting new research continues to point to its many health benefits. 

    • Drinking milk is associated with reducing risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease
    • Heated milk can play a role as a prebiotic to feed healthy gut bacteria to help reduce the risk for chronic diseases. 

     So to answer your question, should adults drink milk? YES

    Drinking milk made sense 10,000 years ago and it still makes sense today.

    Protein Rich Zucchini Noodle Lasagna with Cottage Cheese

    by pacificnorthnutrition @ Pacific North Nutrition

    When your roommate is intolerant to lentils, vegetarian sources of protein are limited. We have had more than our fair share of Summer Tofu Salad Bowl and Vegetable Packed Crustless Quiche with Feta but there are only so many egg and tofu dishes you can stomach in a week. So I turned to protein rich cottage cheese to help square out our vegetarian dinners. Using our high supply of zucchini from our weekly veggie box and my motivation to get some protein versatility into our diets, I came up with this Zucchini Noodle Lasagna with Cottage Cheese. Not only is this vegetarian dish high in protein, it is also great for those looking for a low carbohydrate meal. And best part is… its easy! “Cottage cheese has triple the amount of protein than most yogurt does, and can be enjoyed in both sweet and savoury dishes.” When I first heard about zucchini lasagna, I made the subconscious decision to leave that dish for worth the extra effort occasions. Traditional lasagna is no easy task, so surely one using a vegetable as the noodle would be even more difficult. Not true! This version may even be simpler AND packed full of […]
