Eco festive Parties at Rocky Mountain Flatbread

Chef Oliver has put together delicious festive menus.  And when you book your party with us we promise it will be eco-friendly ... your meal will be carbon neutral and use lots of B.C. produce PLUS:

$1 for each meal ordered will be donated to World Vision.  Our aim is to raise enough to buy a stable full of animals to help a community in Africa break the cycle of poverty.

A frozen pizza for each meal ordered will be donated to the Portland Hospital Society, supporting the homeless in East Vancouver.

Share what eco-festive party things are your doing this christmas.

Rocky Mountain Flatbread Education & Bike Innertubes = Dog Collars & Belts

We want to hear your ideas of what you can do with bike inner tubes and even better send us photos of your ideas in action.

When working with grade 5 students at Lord Tennyson school they have a great idea of transforming bike inner tubes to dog collars and belts!  Our prototypes are looking pretty good.  Watch here for the finished look.  

ROCKY MOUNTAIN FLATBREAD CELEBRATES VANCOUVER URBAN GARDENERS

This is a picture of Ward from City Farm Boy one of the many fantastic urban gardeners in our Vancouver area.  

Ward grows thousands of square feet of fresh veges from early spring to the later winter months selling his produce at Riley Farmers Market.  

His picture and many more experienced and less experienced urban gardeners can be found on our restaurant walls.  Sharon Hanna, urban gardener for over 20 years & consultant for growing your own food from Hotbeds; Justin Tilson, urban gardener for over 5 years; Tim Higgs, who used to supply John Bishop with all of his fresh herbs when his restaurant first opened...  And the list goes on.

Their reasons for urban gardening are hugely diverse:  Love of gardening, food security, personal nurtrition, taste and environmental reasons.

And their wealth of knowledge for gardening tips is amazing.  One thing every urban gardener said was make sure your use soil full of nutrients and use lots of compost every year - it is black gold!!!  

So if you know of any urban gardeners in Vancouver with great gardening tips we would love to hear about them.

Canmore Educational Society

This fall the Canmore Educational Society is back in full swing. We have started two programs this term, the Local Heroes Program (grade 7 class, Exshaw school) and the Responsible Entrepreneur Program (grade 2/3 class, Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Academy). Both programs are going well, and we are looking forward to the pizza party at the new Canmore Co-op (www.canmorecoop.ca) with our local heroes on November 20th. We are still looking for a photographer to take photos on the hereos, if you are interested please contact me. For our responsible entrepreneur program, the grade 2 class is making prototypes this week of potential Christmas inspired products to sell. Look for us at Safeway and Sobeys on Sat. Dec. 6th, and at Stonewaters on Sat. Dec. 13th.

Spring at RMF

Hey Vancouver! Spring is finally here and the staff at RMF would like all to beware the random pizza delivery! It seems to be the best way to spread great word of mouth is to ambush local business along with regular people on the street with samples of our great product. So if you are in Kitsalano this spring/summer don't be surprised if one of our wonderful staff offers you a complimentary sample of our pizza. We will be out in full force this spring and summer spreading our pizza story throughout the community. For those of you who have experienced the random pizza delivery, don't worry. We'll be back to see you as well. Keep checking our RMF blog for in-store info and menu changes as well as the highly anticipated return of our red and white sangria just in time for the patio. Stay cool Vancouver. Happy spring everyone!

Going Green Students - Rocky Mountain Flatbread Education Program

Another project completed with students at Canarvon School, Kits, Vancouver - hooray!

Students and we (Suz and Isabel) learnt all about some of the horrors of household products we use everyday - candles, cotton, toothpaste, soap, face soaps.  All of these products contain man made chemicals and petroleum based products which lead to an increase in allergies, asthma, cancers and are polluting our waters and soil.

We also discovered how easy it was to make all natural alternatives which are kinder to ourselves and kinder to nature.  Toothpaste made of baking soda, glycerine, a touch of salt and peppermint.  Face soaps made of orange and rose water.  Candles made of beeswax.  Friendship bracelets made of hemp.  Thanks to all of the students who participated in our program and of course our beloved program leader Noreen - who makes all these after school programs possible.  Suz and Isabel.
