Partner Spotlight: Take 5 Ranch ✨
At Island Lake Lodge, we believe that great food starts long before it reaches the plate. That’s why we’re proud to partner with local producers like - a family-run operation nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Southern British Columbia.
Take 5 Ranch raises 100% Fullblood Wagyu cattle on their family-run ranch, with a focus on humane practices, exceptional quality, and outstanding flavour. We’re excited to feature their premium Wagyu on our menu this summer, and support a business that allows us to celebrate the incredible flavours of the Kootenays while strengthening the community that makes this region so special.
If you find yourself in the Fernie region this summer, be sure to swing by our lodge for a true taste of the Kootenays 🌱
