Feast of Fields Wandering Gourmet Festival

We’ve been attending Feast of Fields since we first discovered its existence at the Murphy’s Vista D’Oro farm in Langley in 2006 and have attended several Okanagan and Island versions. Every year there are more restaurants, wineries, breweries, cideries and more to discover and there’s always plenty of entertainment along the way. Here’s the information on this year’s September 8th event. Tickets here:

Feast of Fields is FarmFolk CityFolk’s annual local food celebration and signature fundraising event, held each year on a different farm in the Okanagan Valley, on Southern Vancouver Island, and in Metro Vancouver. The Feast is Canada’s largest and longest running local food and beverage festival, and over the past 25 years FarmFolk CityFolk has hosted 58 Feasts!

This year  Metro Vancouver’s 25th Anniversary Feast of Fields will be at Rabbit River Farms in Richmond.

Feast of Fields is a four-hour wandering gourmet harvest festival that highlights the connections between farmers and chefs, field and table, and between farm folks and city folks. With a wine glass and linen napkin in hand, you’ll stroll across a field, traveling from tent to tent, listening to live music, and tasting gourmet creations from some of the Lower Mainland’s top chefs, bakers, food artisans, vintners, brewers, distillers and other beverage producers.
