Each Standard Box will contain over 10 tasting items from local chefs and makers including appetizers, sample-sized mains, and indulgent desserts. Our limited VIP Local Food Champion boxes will include everything in our Standard Box, plus an extra bottle of bubbly and exclusive food addons such as preserves from Salt Spring Kitchen Co., and more. The ongoing global pandemic has forced many to adjust their programming. Our reimagined Feast ‘At Home’ remains true to the spirit of our in-person event. Virtually wander through a gastronomic harvest festival. With a wine glass in hand, guests of Feast 2021 will take a virtual stroll through farmers fields, listen to guest speakers talk about how they support sustainable agriculture and celebrate local food, and taste gourmet creations from top BC chefs, farmers, fishers, ranchers, food artisans, and beverage producers.
Feast of Fields
Join other local food system champions for an afternoon of celebration in your region. “Feast of Fields highlights the connections between farmers and chefs, fields and tables, and between farm folks and city folks. Despite the global pandemic, our commitment to local food systems is stronger than ever. Our team is excited to bring this year’s Feast celebration directly to the backyards of British Columbians.” Julia Zado, Engagement Manager. Feast of Fields is our annual local food celebration and fundraiser, held each year on a different farm in Metro Vancouver, on Vancou-
ver Island, and in the Okanagan Valley. Proceeds raised from these events allow us to develop and operate programs that connect, empower, and inspire people to strengthen BC’s sustainable food systems.
