Do you want to find out more about which foods are available locally?  Do you want to taste the best that our area offers?  Check out this message from the Thompson-Shuswap Chef Farmer Collaborative!

Join us for our first annual fundraiser August 7, 2011 at Thistle Farm.

We take over a farm for the day, invite the public, and let our chefs show off the best of what our farmers/producers offer. Chefs create tasty one-bite dishes. Local wineries and breweries pour the finest of beverages. Enjoy live entertainment and children’s activities. The public gets to interact directly with our membership. Money raised goes towards the TSCFC Grant, available to farmers and local food security groups.

Tickets are $60.00 for adults, $20.00 for 12 and under, 5 and under are free. Tickets will be available at the Saturday Farmers Market, Community Futures and participating restaurants or order online for a small fee and pick them up at will-call at the event. Bring a printout of your ticket receipt just in case!  Here’s the website:     http://tscfc.org/
