One of my fav Chef’s, Trevor Bird of Fable Restaurant, is cooking up a dinner at UBC Farm as  a fundraiser for Backpack buddies, a program sending food home for weekends for needy students. I’d be there if not away.  Great chef and great charity. – GLV

Enjoy the beauty of the UBC Farm and taste the organically-grown harvest at this long-table dinner hosted by the Urban Zucchini team – Fabio, Christine and Shannon.

The evening will start off with an informative tour of the UBC Farm while you enjoy a glass of wine and have the opportunity to interact and learn from UBC faculty and farm staff. After the tour, gather together in the orchard to enjoy a meal prepared by Chef Trevor Bird of Fable Restaurant.

The event is raising funds for Backpack Buddies, a unique local initiative aimed at ensuring students in Vancouver’s inner city schools are provided with backpacks full of healthy food to get them through the weekend.
