Echo Valley Ranch & Spa offers enticing meals created by our professional chef. Gourmet food is expertly prepared, in our open kitchen, using our very own farm produce. When in season we serve local wild mushrooms, herbs and berries, which we gather from the surrounding forest. For the vegetarian we can offer many vegetable varieties, many of them from our own organic vegetable garden. We also have a great berry and herb patch! For those of us that like meat, we raise our own cattle, pigs, turkeys, rabbits and chickens. For seafood, we buy only the best from our sources in Vancouver. Last, but by no means least, all of our water is taken from one of our five springs – it is pure and sparkling!

Walk around our organic gardens and see what’s growing in our greenhouse. Ask to see our large root cellar were we store our vegetables – perhaps you will even get to visit the wine cellar too! Watch our chef, Kim, prepare your food in his open kitchen and ask him about his recipes. Kim has lots of secrets about cooking that he will share with you.

Kim served an apprenticeship as a chef in Europe and first came to Canada to be chef for the Danish Embassy in Ottawa. Kim has won two bronzes and one silver medal in the Culinary Olympics and has been awarded the coveted Cordon Bleu Award. Other accomplishments include organizing and preparing the G7 Summit meeting banquets at the Halifax Delta Hotel, were world leaders were served, and acting as the private chef to Norwegian Royalty in their home in Norway.

During the summer months Echo Valley offers its guests a Traditional Thai Night. Always a special treat we offer this night to our guests once a week. The evening is complete with wonderful authentic Thai Food and then after dinner there is traditional Thai dancing where we get everyone involved. We can also provide Thai cooking lessons by special request. Cooking classes with Kim can also be arranged if you wish.
