Big growth means big change for us ...

As many of our customers know, Tria's take home dinner line at the Butcher's Block has exploded over the last 3 months. This growth has been amazing, but of course it has brought with it some problems with space!

We have outgrown our space at the Butcher's Block and our production kitchen space at Nature's Way Farm, which means .... we're moving! Many of you know that we've been scouring the valley for the past 3 months looking for a larger space and we're so close to finalizing the details of our new location. We'll let all of our valuable and loyal customers know as soon as the paperwork is signed!

Next week is Tria's last operating week at the Butcher's Block, we'll close the lunch counter on January 6. Tria typically shuts down for January and February each year and this year will be no different, we'll be doing a few catering jobs in January and February and then we'll start back in earnest in March from our new location.

In addition to the growth of our take home line, we have seen tremendous growth in our catering division. In 2012, in addition to continuing with the very successful Take Home Dinner Line, the Farmer's Market and the Full Moon Feasts and other events, Tria will focus on growing their Fine Catering Services. We are so looking forward to working and hosting in such venues as Coastal Trek Resort, Filberg Lodge and the beautiful Deep Bay Marine Field Station in 2012.

We would like to take this time to thank our amazing customers, you've been the catalyst for this change and we can't thank you enough for your support. We look forward to serving you in 2012! And finally, to Greg Wilson and the amazing staff at the Butcher's Block and to George and Marla of Blue Moon Winery/Nature's Way Farm for their support and understanding during this amazing growth period.

For anyone who has any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at kathy@triaculinarystudio.ca or at 871-8716, I am happy to answer any questions.

Patience is a virtue I may not have ...

Tria is going through some fabulous changes right now, I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone's patience, support and well-wishes.
We're so close to finalizing all the details of our move and new location, I can't wait to talk about it. It's incredibly difficult to get legal, financial and all other details sorted out at Christmas time! I have a sinking feeling that it may have to wait until the New Year. No one seems to be answering their phone!
This is a test of patience that I may be failing ...
We will be open at the Butcher's Block until January 6. After that, we'll be packing and moving but the office will still be open and I'll be taking calls, inquiries and bookings for 2012.
Thank you for your continued interest and support. Once we're ready and all the details of our new location and direction are sorted , I'll yell it from the rooftops ...

Tria is moving

It is what all businesses dream of … growth and success.
Thanks to Tria's amazing customers, we have experienced unexpected growth in a very short period of time. Unfortunately, with this rapid growth, we have out grown our production kitchen space at Blue Moon Winery/Nature's Way Farm and at The Butcher's Block. We have been on the hunt for a location that will allow us to do everything under one roof – and we are close to finalizing the details of our new location. We will make the announcement here on the website as well as on our Facebook page and in the local newspaper.

Our lunch counter at the Butcher's Block will close on Friday, January 6 but don’t worry, once we re-open we’ll be offering our new Take Home Dinner Line, we won’t leave all you hungry folks in a lurch!

Tria’s cooking classes are temporarily on hold and Tria's Full Moon Feast dates and location will be announced in January.

In 2012, in addition to continuing with the very successful Take Home Dinner Line, the Farmer’s Market, and the Full Moon Feasts, Tria will focus on growing their Fine Catering Services. We have a number of catering events booked for 2012; please be assured, this temporary closure will not affect our existing bookings in any way. Tria is also looking forward to hosting more events at the beautiful Deep Bay Marine Field Station http://www.viu.ca/deepbay/ in 2012.

Tria owner, Kathy Jerritt and Tria's amazing team would like to take this opportunity to thank George and Marla of Blue Moon Winery/Nature's Way Farm and Greg Wilson of the Butcher's Block for their unwavering support of Tria during this incredible growth period. We will continue to work together in the future and we look forward to seeing our fabulous customers at the crepe stand and at other community and catered events.
