    The special \u201chandcrafted\u201d\u00a0Soft Peaks recipe is made with Avalon organic milk, a touch of sweetness, and is then churned to smooth perfection. The result is a refreshing and creamy dessert that is all-natural, and lower in calories and fat than ice cream. In addition to organic milk, organic cream, organic milk powder, and organic stabilizers\/ emulsifiers (all of them are Kosher certified), we use dextrose to replace generically modified sugar (GMO) like high fructose corn syrup when we make our ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Soft Peaks loves local! Premium toppings, like a fresh piece of Okanagan and Fraser Valley\u00a0honeycomb, have been crafted for perfect pairings. All of their milk comes from Avalon Dairy, a local dairy farm known for its uncompromising quality. Their ice cream cups, spoons, and napkins are from local suppliers, some of them are also compostable! Soft Peaks also supports the BC Children\u2019s Hospital Foundation by donating partial proceeds from their sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Soft Peaks has been a client of Louis T. Picco since they opened and their soft serve is definitely\u00a0Butter Approved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2018, the BC provincial\u00a0government introduced the Speculation Tax. The Speculation tax’s purpose was to discourage housing\u00a0speculation and prevent people from leaving homes vacant in BC’s major urban centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Speculation tax targets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Foreign and domestic speculators who own residences in BC but do not pay taxes here;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Investors who own homes in BC that they don’t reside in (not their principal residence) who do not rent out these properties (vacant homes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      All owners of residential properties must fill in an online annual declaration by March 31 of each year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you have any further questions or concerns about whether the new Speculation Tax applies to you, or for more information, please do not hesitate to contact us! We are here to review your situation and help you “Keep What’s Yours<\/em><\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
