Farm Folk 15th Annual best-food-event-of-the-year fundraiser will be held at UBC Farm this year - Sunday, September 13th, 2009 from 1pm to 5pm

Feast of Fields - a gourmet wandering picnic harvest festival – is FarmFolk/CityFolk’s annual fundraising event. With a wine glass and linen napkin in hand, you can taste the very best of BC from chefs, vintners, brewers, farmers, and food artisans from across the province. Connections are made between producers and chefs, food producers and consumers, and farm folks and city folks. These connections provide an increased awareness of and appreciation for local food and agriculture. Feast of Fields is a gastronomic journey towards a sustainable, local food system.

A knowledge pantry.

Vancouver non profit, Farm Folk City Folk, has created a handy resource to help inquiring minds find out more about sustainable, local food.

It is worth poking around the right hand side bar, and new information is continually added to the library.

…we encourage you to support the folks who grow your food – right here in British Columbia.

There are many ways to increase the amount of local food in our daily lives…and many benefits in doing so.
