Backyard Farm Chef's Table

The Chef’s Table at Backyard Farm offers an intimate dining experience for up to 20 guests, led by Chris Van Hooydonk and focused on seasonal, organic and sustainable ingredients. It emphasises ethical sourcing—from hormone-free, antibiotic-free meats to Ocean-wise certified seafood—and supports local farmers and producers.

Set within a beautifully restored heritage farmhouse surrounded by a two-acre orchard and vineyards, Backyard Farm Chef’s Table delivers an intimate and immersive dining experience. Every multi-course menu is personally designed by Chef Chris Van Hooydonk, reflecting the rhythms of the seasons, French-inspired technique, and a deep respect for local farmers and producers.

Guests are invited into the open demonstration kitchen—where each handcrafted dish tells the story of its ingredients, from Ocean Wise-certified seafood to ethically raised meats and farm-grown produce—creating a genuine connection between land, table, and craft. The result is a refined yet heartfelt celebration of South Okanagan’s food and wine culture, guided by a team devoted to professionalism, sustainability, and the art of true hospitality.
