During this most unusual of times, some businesses have found ways to pivot, to modify their services so they are able to continue to operate and provide services while maintaining appropriate physical distance and exercising extra care when it comes to sanitary standards. 

Rocky Mountain Refresh Delivers to Bow Valley Residents

Karly Sovereign, owner of Rocky Mountain Refresh Meals usually provides baskets of tasty meals to Bow Valley visitors. Those who stay in Air BNBs or hotels with suites or kitchenettes can pre-order baskets filled with tasty, locally-made foods they then prepare themselves. The kits are a great idea - they contain everything you need to make a lovely meal without the stress of first having to go shopping. 

Of course, at the moment there are very few visitors in the Bow Valley and it doesn’t look like that trend is going to change any time soon. Karly’s infrastructure and supply chain are still intact, so she’s offering her delivery service to locals. Here’s your chance to support a small, local business and eat whole, locally-sourced food. 

Karly works with vendors like Kombucheers, Le Chocolatier, Grizzly Paw Brewery, Uprising, Valbella, Edible Life and Canmore Pasta Co. So, in fact, order one of Karly’s beautiful baskets and you wind up supporting several other local businesses as well. 

Delivery is either curb-side or to your door and Rocky Mountain Refresh will deliver free to Lac des Arcs, Dead Man’s Flats, Harvie Heights, and Exshaw as well as in Canmore and Banff. 

Each basket of food is themed and there are options for a cooked breakfast or a grab and go meal, dinners for meat-lovers and variations for gluten-free or dairy-free customers. Depending on how large your appetite is, the baskets will make a meal that will serve three. 

Taking a page from the slow food movement, this is not ‘dial now and get it delivered in 20 minutes’ take-out. The baskets take time to assemble - plan ahead and order early in the day for an evening delivery or the evening before for a breakfast drop-off. 

All the details are on the Rocky Mountain Refresh website. If you do order one of Karly’s fabulous baskets, snap a photo and tag both of us (@tastecanmore and @rockymountainrefresh) so we help spread the word and let others know about the service.
