LANGLEY, CANADA, January 17, 2013 URBAN BARNS FOODS INC. (URBF.QB) ("the Company" or "URBAN BARNS"), today announced sales with Fairmont Hotel Pacific Rim and the Terminal City Club, Vancouver, British Columbia.
URBF Chairman Dan Meikleham expressed delight on the purchase orders from two prestigious “Land-Mark” food and beverage providers saying, “These first two orders will serve as an impetus towards supplying locally grown green leafy vegetables to a number of hospitality providers in a major World-Class international hub city.”
Richard Groome, President of Urban Barns Foods Canada said "It has been a pleasure to deal with Head Chefs who care about the quality of the food they serve their customers.”
Terminal City Head Chef, Ben Pernosky stated, “I never thought I could order 200 heads of lettuce at 10 am and have them cropped and delivered at 11 am the same day. This has to be a first, especially in the middle of a Canadian winter!”
Darren Brown, Executive Chef, Fairmont Pacific Rim, after a visit to Urban Barns growing facility on Monday January 13th, 2013, said, “I was impressed with the Cubic growing machines that can supply 500 heads of lettuce for any of my banquets fresh picked today. Having a local supplier of pesticide-free traceable food is high on my list. Now we have begun to source from Urban Barns I plan to promote to my colleagues at the other Fairmont Hotels, first in Metro Vancouver then bring it to their attention World-Wide.”
