The 6th annual FarmFolk CityFolk Okanagan Feast of Fields being held on Sunday, August 17th is less than two weeks away. Described as a wandering harvest festival, it showcases some of the very best of the region including chefs, farmers, fishers, ranchers, food artisans, vintners, brewers, and distillers. Okanagan Feast of Fields highlights the connections between farmer and chef, field to table and farm folks and city folks.
This year, Okanagan Feast of Fields is bringing together 30 restaurants and 30 wineries, distilleries and breweries into one beautiful location to celebrate the harvest season. Okanagan Lavender & Herb Farm, a beautiful farm property with sweeping views of Okanagan Lake is our host farm for this culinary event of the summer season. As local leaders in agritourism, this family farm has developed a reputation as growers, producers and distillers of fine quality lavender products. Owners David and Andrea McFadden are ‘happy to support the efforts of community sustainability through FarmFolk CityFolk as it is so closely aligned with what we do at our farm.’
Okanagan Feast of Fields participants represent the entire valley from North to South. Burrowing Owl Estate Winery paired with food from their signature restaurant Sonora Room, delicious wine from Tantalus Vineyards just down the road from our host farm in Kelowna, paired with food from the Harvest Golf Club, and Ex Nihilo Vineyards, Gray Monk Estate Winery and Grapevine Restaurant all coming from the north and many more in between. This year, a number of new valley restaurants are making their debut at Feast: Blu Saffron at Volcanic Hills, Smoke & Oak Bistro from Wild Goose Vineyards, Liquidity Restaurant at Liquidity Winery and the much anticipated addition to the Kelowna culinary scene, Top Chef competitor Chris Shaften’s Krafty Kitchen + Bar are also joining the celebration.
FarmFolk CityFolk is pleased to announce their lineup of sponsors who help make this fundraiser successful and memorable. Choices Markets is our Gold Plate sponsor and Edible Vancouver our Silver Spoon Sponsor with Okanagan College and Nature’s Fare
Tickets are available now at Choices Markets in Kelowna, the Penticton and Wine Country Tourism Centre or online at farmfolkcityfolk.ca
About FarmFolk CityFolk
Established in 1993 Farm Folk CityFolk is a not-for-profit society working to cultivate local, sustainable food systems across British Columbia. We are supported by grant-making foundations, private donors, volunteers and by funds raised at our annual Feast of Fields events in Metro Vancouver, on Vancouver Island and in the Okanagan. The funds we raise support our work both within these communities and across BC.
In the Okanagan our Helping Farmers program offers resources for farmers looking to expand their business, produce food more sustainably, and gain access to land and capital. Our farm mentorship program for young farmers is offered in partnership with Sunshine Farm in Kelowna. Additionally, through our partnership with Young Agrarians, we host young farmer mixers and linking land workshops to support the next generation of young farmers.
