small steps to big changes

As we step into a new year, many of us are considering ways to make positive changes in our lives and the world around us. At Chew On This Tasty Tours, we believe that small steps can lead to significant impact. Here are five resolutions that can help you make a difference personally and globally, and how our tours can support you along the way.

Embrace Veganuary

Going plant-based, even for just a month, can have numerous benefits for your health and the environment. Studies have shown that a plant-based diet can lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Additionally, reducing your consumption of animal products can help decrease greenhouse gas emissions and conserve water and land resources.

Join us for our “With the Chef” brunch featuring Alysa Ferguson at Down2Earth Plant Parlour, where you’ll learn tips and tricks for delicious plant-based cooking over a knock-your-socks off tasting menu! Book the date that works best for your schedule. Or, request our most popular tour, Fort Langley Local Flavour, as a totally plant-based experience. Yep! We can do that!

Participate in Dry January

Taking a break from alcohol can have positive effects on your physical and mental well-being. Giving up alcohol for a month can lead to better sleep, improved mood, and increased energy levels. It can also help you reassess your relationship with alcohol and make healthier choices in the long run. Read about the sober curious movement here.

All of our tours offer non-alcoholic alternatives, so you can fully enjoy the experience without compromising your Dry January commitment.

Support Small Local Businesses

When you choose to support small local businesses, you’re investing in your community and helping to create a more resilient local economy. Small businesses often source their products and services locally, which can reduce transportation emissions and support other local entrepreneurs. Want to understand the dollars and cents behind your spending locally. We highly recommend this article from LOCO BC for more insights.

Our tours introduce you to unique local businesses in every community we visit, from artisanal food producers to family-owned restaurants. By participating in our tours, you’re directly supporting these small businesses and the people behind them. Plus you get a more authentic look at the community by interacting with the folks who live here!

Give Experiences, Not Things

(all year ’round)

You heard it all holiday season long: give experiences, not gifts. Giving experiences as gifts has numerous advantages over traditional material gifts. Experiences create lasting memories and can strengthen bonds between people. They also reduce clutter and waste, as they don’t contribute to the accumulation of physical possessions. Why not consider a year of giving only experiences for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, retirements; any occasion!

Chew On This Tasty Tours offers gift cards in customizable amounts, making it easy to give the gift of a memorable food tour or chef-hosted tasting dinner.

Although we are not on this particular list, there are a plethora of great ideas for you to consider as experience gifts to be found here.

Spend More Time with Friends + Family

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to let friendships fall by the wayside. However, spending quality time with friends can have significant benefits for your mental health and overall well-being. Strong social connections can reduce stress, improve self-esteem, and provide a support system during difficult times.

Our tours offer a perfect opportunity to gather your friends and spend quality time together while exploring new culinary delights and local communities. Find your perfect match here.
