The Okanagan’s “Best Food Event” is back for its 10th season.
Feast of Fields is FarmFolk CityFolk’s annual local food celebration and fundraiser, highlighting the contribution local chefs, restaurants, farmers, ranchers, fishers, food artisans, vintners, brewers and distillers make to our local economy, according to a Feast of Fields news release.
It emphasizes how they are connected to the land, support the regional economy, and create the most delicious local, seasonal and sustainable flavours B.C. has to offer, the release said.
The event will be held at the Father Pandosy Mission in Kelowna Aug. 12 from 1 to 4 p.m.
The Okanagan Feast was voted “Best Food Event” in the Okanagan Valley by readers of Okanagan Life Magazine in their annual Reader’s Choice Awards.
