For the last 13 years Dor-Bel International Fine Foods has built its reputation by delivering specialty gourmet flash frozen foods door to door. Within the last 5 years, to outreach more to the general public Dor-Bel International Fine Foods has expanded into local indoor and ourdoor farmers markets.

Becoming involved within the market scene has not only been great success but has also improved the already high quality foods that Dor-Bel Fine Foods offers. It has motivated us to find more local, natural or organic products and has encouraged us to think more about where the foods we order come from.

In the past year Dor-Bel International Fine Foods has taken various steps toward improving every part or our business practice. Part of our initiative has lead us to instigate a partnership with Ocean Wise(tm). A not for profit organization out of the Vancouver Aquarium that offers restaurants, retailers and suppliers information and guidence pertaining to choosing the most sustainable options for fish and seafood. We are proud to say that we are the first retailer in Alberta to have this partnership, but encourage all other fish and seafood retailers to consider joining this great organization`s efforts!

More and more we hear about how important it is to purchase locally, not only to reduce carbon footprints but to also support our local farmers and industries. Although we have always offer local chicken and beef, our involvement within the markets has encouraged us to find the best quality and the most naturally raised beef and poultry available locally. We have built relationships with local farmers`that take great pride in the end result of their efforts, with good reason. Our chicken breast is raised locally and naturally with no added hormones, no preseratives, no animal by-products and no force feeding. You can taste the difference! In the New Year, it is our goal to find the same qualities for the beef items on our menu. We are proud to say that our Bison is already to that standard and supplied by the best Bison Company here in Alberta, Carmen Creek Gourmet Meats. Their Standards, certifications and many awards deem them the most outstanding and most desirable supplier for Bison meat and we are proud to carry their cuts.

In 2010 we are pushing forward toward further environmental stewardship and awareness of our economic impace on our community and the other people within it.
