OUR PARTNERS
9 Mile Legacy Brewing
9 Mile is a locally owned brewery that we are proud to partner with to serve you unique beverages on and off the train.
We believe that the connection between 9 Mile and Wheatland Express is a strong one, that allows guests to expand their knowledge of the railway and the movement of our prairie grains. Not to mention the historical significance of building Cudworth and Wakaw which are nine miles apart.

FarmGirlChef
Our Chef this season is Heather Bekar-Schulte. She has been involved in the culinary industry since 1994 but was born with a passion for good food. Raised on a small beef and grain farm near North Battleford, SK she has long been an advocate for local food security. Her Father instilled in her his beliefs in traditional farming, animal husbandry and food cultivation methods. Their farm and massive garden taught her early to have a deep respect for the origin of food and the work it takes to get it to our plates. She received her first gourmet cookbook at age 11 and never looked back. This set-in motion a lifetime love of creating food for the enjoyment of others. She began to bake, create, and cook as a full-time hobby – collecting and reading cookbooks like bedtime stories. Chef Heather takes immense pride in her handcrafted menus that weave together unique and classical flavors using both seasonal and local ingredients. These inspired memories create an elevated prairie tasting experience.
