Located in the narrow Similkameen Valley in the town of Cawston, BC, Row Fourteen restaurant was built in the 14th row of Klippers Organic Acres’ apple orchard.
Row Fourteen is the realization of the desire by two farmers and a chef to go beyond ‘farm to table’ by instead bringing tables directly onto the farm. The Klippensteins have been making weekly trips from the Similkameen Valley to Vancouver for many years, supplying many of the best restaurants in the city with choice organic produce.
Before Row Fourteen’s conception, one of the chefs they would see on their weekly rounds was Derek Gray. Having been at the helm of some of Vancouver’s most influential restaurants, Derek spent much of his time pursuing the best, freshest local ingredients.
In 2018 Derek came to visit Kevin & Annamarie at the farm to get a better feel for where the food he was serving came from. Eating a perfectly ripe peach picked straight from the tree was an epiphany moment. The idea of welcoming people to enjoy food cooked on the land in which it was grown was irresistible.
Over the next couple of years the vision grew to encompass and celebrate the bounty of our region; world-class wines made by our neighbours, wild foods foraged in the hills surrounding the farm and animals raised with care by people who share our values of soil health, respect for whole eco-systems and the well being of their animals.
Since opening in 2019 the team has continued to evolve this vision, striving to create an innovative and meaningful connection between the kitchen, the people and the land that supports it.
