Real. Food. Fast.

As part of our commitment to our environment and community, we collaborate with a different organization each month on a feature burger, with $2 per burger sold going to the amazing work they do for our communities. This month, we’re partnering with @peninsulastreams, whose work on habitat conservation and restoration supports a healthy food system and community. Through their Rain Gardens for Headwaters program, they’re bringing green infrastructure into our city to increase pollinator habitat, improve water quality, and protect our streams. Rain gardens are designed to capture, hold, cool, and filter water on the landscape. Because they use native plants, they provide habitat to the native pollinators that support our food system while also protecting downstream habitat for animals like salmon that rely on our streams for spawning. Peninsula Streams has two demonstration rain gardens at Monterey Middle School and Campus View Elementary and do additional education and outreach to schools, local government, businesses, and community members.

Have you heard of the @@fedurbanag ? At Big Wheel Burger, we are passionate about supporting community food security - that’s why we created the Big Wheel Burger Community Foundation. Through the Foundation, we’ve been collaborating with our friends at FED Urban Agriculture Society for over ten years! @fedurbanag is a charity that has been bringing food production into our city since 2013, establishing gardens on underutilized land, delivering educational programs, and empowering underserved populations to grow their own food. This year, FED took over TOPSOIL, an urban farm at the foot of the Bay Street Bridge in Vic West, right near our Westside Village location and we couldn't be more excited! At the new FED Urban Farm, they grow delicious spray-free produce, run educational programs, and explore sustainable farming techniques. Feeling inspired? Grab a free packet of organic lettuce seeds at each BWB location while supplies last this week and follow the @fedurbanag for gardening tips! FED is also offering a season-long CSA weekly veggie box! Get your hands on their farm-to-table produce and support their work at get-fed.ca!

Welcome back to Big Wheel Burger’s Climate Action Week, where we’re celebrating the link between habitat conservation and food. If you’ve been to our Cook Street location, you may have noticed our pollinator garden along McKenzie St. This garden was installed in partnership with our friends at @fedurbanag back in 2017. It features all native plants, which have evolved in partnership with the animals and insects in our region for millions of years, and together support a healthy and diverse ecosystem! The pollinators that use these gardens also support our herb and veggie planters outside our front door. It all comes full circle when Big Wheel’s 100% compostable packaging is turned into compost used to nourish these gardens. Come on down to Big Wheel on Cook and let us know which pollinators you see!

What does protecting our natural ecosystem have to do with food? By conserving and restoring native habitats, we protect the pollinators that are responsible for bringing us one out of every three bites of food. Yes, you read that right, ONE out of every THREE bites!! At Big Wheel, without pollinators, we wouldn’t have the chocolate or strawberries you have in your milkshake or the pickles, onions, and tomatoes on your burger. Even the canola our fries are fried in and the alfalfa eaten by beef cows rely on bees for pollination. For the month of April, $2 from each of our featured Triple “B” Burgers sold goes towards Peninsula Streams Society, who coordinate restoration and habitat conservation projects throughout Greater Victoria. Grab a feature burger at any Big Wheel and support pollinator habitats! @peninsulastreams

Welcome to Climate Action Week! At Big Wheel Burger, we understand how the well-being of our environment and our community are directly connected. Follow along this week as we connect the dots between habitat conservation and local food. This month, $2 from every feature burger sold will go to the awesome folks at @peninsulastreams, who are doing amazing work protecting our watersheds and restoring habitat throughout Greater Victoria! We’re also handing out free packets of lettuce seeds at all five locations while supplies last! Head down to Big Wheel Burger to grab some seeds and support Peninsula Streams with a Triple “B” Burger! Looking for another way to support Peninsula Streams Society?

10 years of Aidan continues with her favourite meal combo. Aidan has tried almost every single feature burger we've had but she still loves just a classic burger with buttermilk ranch. Have you tried dipping your fries in @yeshidressing? We think she's on to something great! Order Aidan's favourites on your next visit!

Today marks 10 years of Aidan! We asked her how she wanted to celebrate, and she said she wanted to write a "Thank You" note to you, the customers she's had the pleasure of serving over the years! So please read Aidan's message to you below and help us celebrate 10 years! ⭐️“ Hello, Big Wheel Universe! This is Aidan Felker, reporting live! Today, I celebrate my 10th anniversary at Big Wheel Burger, and I want to express my gratitude to you, our customers, for your unwavering support over the past decade and beyond! I started working as a Front of House employee at our Cook St location when I was 19 years old. Since then, I have grown within the company and am now your dedicated Service Operations Manager. I work closely with our stores to ensure customer satisfaction. Throughout the years, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people - our fearless leadership team, our beautiful customers and the dedicated professionals who run our shops. I could never thank you enough for making the last decade of my life full of great food, laughter, and meaningful connections. It is what we are all about, and you have enriched my life in more ways than you can imagine. Thank you to our ownership group for seeing my potential and giving me the space to learn and grow. My go-to Big Wheel Burger is a regular burger with buttermilk ranch instead of Big Wheel sauce. I am borderline obsessed with our local beef, which is proudly supplied by Hank's in Abbotsford. When I am not working, you can find me soaking up the sunshine at Gonzales Beach, taking a walk with my cat Portia, or getting takeout with my husband at one of our favourite local spots: FOO, Taco Justice, and Frankie's Diner. I want to remind you that when you support a local business, you are supporting all the amazing people who work there. From the bottom of my "big wheel blue" heart, I thank you. Yours, Aidan Felker PS: If you find yourself grooving on the music we play in our stores, feel free to check out our Spotify playlist curated by yours truly!
