TM Day at Kathleen Charpentier’s Farm

Filed December 17th, 2009, in Community, Events, Growers and Farmgate Sales, Local, Slow Food Calgary.

Kathleen Charpentier has just been elected Women’s Vice-President of the National Farmers’ Union – congratulations!

She sent us words and images from her TM day celebrations on the farm…

"I learned that we need to think about where our food comes from"

"Our celebration took place on a day that was minus 35 degrees centigrade."

"Despite the cold, we feasted on bison ribs, mashed potatoes, homemade butter, homemade pumpernickel bread, curried carrots, green beans, pickles, saskatoon-apple crisp, raw cream and plenty of wine."

"Everyone watched Food Inc. (including the teenagers) and the discussion was intense."
