Celebrate local food week By Murray Green
The Food Artisans of Camrose County (FACC) launched Local Food Week with a presentation to Camrose County council and City of Camrose council on August 4. Reeve Cindy Trautman, Mayor PJ Stasko signed a declaration for Local Food Week to be August 14 to 20 with Food Artisans chair Edith Tabler as a witness. Local Food Week in Alberta is also August 14 to 20. In 2016, local food sales (Farmers’ Markets, Farm Retail and restaurants serving local food) exceeded $1.5 billion in Alberta. About 23 per cent of households chose restaurants that use Alberta ingredients; 36 per cent households purchase at farm retail; and 78 per cent households purchase at
farmers’ markets. FACC is a collective of local growers, producers and processors in County and City of Camrose. It is presently supported by Camrose County. They encourage everyone to support our local producers. There are 53 Food Artisans listed for 2022; 34 per cent of Food Artisans are located in the City of Camrose, but they are financially and in-kind supported by Camrose County; three out of the five Food Artisan Farmers’ Markets are located in the City of Camrose. Shop at the five Alberta Approved farmers’ markets in the County–Thursday at the Rose City market in Duggan Mall or the Downtown Market on Main Street; Friday at Bashaw and Miquelon Lake; or Saturday at the Camrose and
District Market at the Duggan Mall. Since COVID-19, there is a growing interest in consumers to support and shop from local food producers, growers and processors. A complete list is available on the county website. Since 2021, 13 different Community Service Learning Projects have been completed with six different Food Artisans. Valuable connections have been made with Augustana Campus and students. A range of projects have been completed including: pivoting a sustainable small business, why you should consider farming, sustainable stories/newsletter and the Camrose Urban Farm Project.
