Feast of Fields is two weeks out and many thanks to the band of passionate folks who have everything on track for our eleventh year!! This is just a friendly reminder to all Slow Food members, steering committee included, that this is a TICKETED event… the fire department has rules as to how many folks can be on site, the insurance company has rules to how many people can be on site, and both producers and restaurants have specific expectations regarding how many folks can be accommodated on Sunday afternoon. To that end, be aware that if you have not purchased a ticket or have not been assigned a role for the day – you will not be included on the guest list, and as such will be denied entry. Security personnel will be on hand to facilitate compliance so we would request that you do not arrive expecting admittance based on your perception of your participation and affiliation. This year’s event features 20 committed chefs and 40 local producers; show your support by purchasing a ticket to this dynamic community showcase – we look forward to seeing you there!! Thank-you for your cooperation and understanding.

This is an invitation to slow food members to “Come Visit the Farms” on August 14th.
Four organic farms are featured: Heritage Harvest which grows Red Fife wheat, Poplar Bluff Farm, Cam’s Carrots, and Winters Turkey. We finish with a BBQ in Cam’s beautiful quaint farm back yard.
Cost: $30 per person, to cover the bus rental fee.
This is a tasting event; varieties of vegetables that are not carried in stores can be explored. A team of horses will dig the first potatoes of the year. The event is family friendly, so bring the kids!
Bus pickup point is Chinook LRT at 10 am.
I know I haven’t given you a lot of notice but I would love to have my slow food friends visit us!
