Whispering Winds Ranch, 100% Grass-Fed Tenderloin, $25.99 – Naturally lean due to the grass-finishing, Whispering Winds Ranch’s tenderloins are a healthier version of one of the kings of steaks. Succulent and flavorful, Dad deserves the best. Based in Vanderhoof, Whispering Winds Ranch Born is a three-generation family farm where the cattle are raised without growth hormones and on a natural forage-based diet grown directly on the farm. By skipping the grains that most producers use, they not only produce a better life for the animals, but the meat is better for Dad as well – leaner and more omega 3’s and vitamins A and E.

They are a purveyor of fine meats including beef, pork and others that are free of antibiotics, hormones and chemical feed additives.

They believe that people should know where their food is coming from and that it was produced ethically and naturally.

Pretty Things Floral, various prices – Flowers for a man? Why not! I actually send my dad flowers for his birthday each year, and he loves it. In case your dad is on the old-fashioned side, Pretty Things also has potted succulents and tropical plants too. We love Pretty Things because not only are their flowers and plants beautiful, they also have an eco-friendly approach towards their products by keeping waste to a minimum, and they aim to support local growers by supplying their store primarily with BC Grown flowers and plants.
