Jacqui Hunter places at least one item from her garden or greenhouse on each plate at Java Jack’s Restaurant and Gallery in Rocky Harbour. The restaurant showcases locally grown food and art, and with the garden just outside the window, visitors are fully aware of where their food comes from.

“People are eating at places because they know they’re sustainable, they’re green and they’re supporting local art,” said Hunter.

Businesses like this, as well as individuals in the community, benefit from the Gros Morne Institute for Sustainable Tourism (GMIST), a professional development program for private-sector businesses taking part in experiential tourism.
