Seasonal ingredients from local farms bring fresh flavors to Lake Nona.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Each week, Executive Chef Jason Bergeron visits local farms in search of the freshest ingredients for Canvas Restaurant & Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are endless possibilities each season. We\u2019re lucky to live in an area where you can grow all-year round,\u201d said Bergeron, Executive Chef at Tavistock Restaurant Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a passion for ingredients and a life-long interest in where food comes from, Bergeron collaborates with Canvas Executive Chef George Yiu to find opportunities to incorporate locally-sourced ingredients into the Canvas menu and create ready-made family meals four days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur focus is buying local whenever we can to provide delicious meals with healthy and fresh ingredients,\u201d said Bergeron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Wednesday through Saturday, you can preorder family meals<\/a> like the restaurant\u2019s signature buttermilk fried chicken accompanied by different local vegetables each week like mushrooms from Fungi Jon<\/a>, salad from Kalera<\/a>, or other greens from Mick Farms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the difference in freshness and flavor, Bergeron says buying from local farmers is beneficial for three reasons: \u201cYou know what you\u2019re getting is in season, you\u2019re reducing the carbon footprint, and you\u2019re supporting local businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying fresh ingredients from local farms is not the only way Canvas supports local businesses. In addition to housing the Lake Nona Info Center<\/a>, Canvas Market carries a collection of local goods from Rifle Paper Co., Heavens to Betsey Jams, Corkcicle, Naked Bar Soap Co. and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canvas Restaurant also carries craft beer from local breweries including Crooked Can Brewing and Orlando Brewing Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
