Cobble Hill, BC: Organic Fair Farm and Garden in partnership with Cowichan Green Community (CGC) are hosting a Food Revolution Day event on May 19th . They are joining over 800 groups from 45 countries that have signed up to take action and support the Jamie Oliver Foundation in its launch of its first-ever Food Revolution Day, a global day of action to inspire, educate, and empower people everywhere to stand up for real food.
Kent & Marisa Goodwin, owners of Organic Fair Farm & Garden want to encourage Vancouver Islanders to join thousands of people worldwide to raise awareness on preventing diet- related diseases, and to arm people with the knowledge and tools to make healthier food choices.
Join these local food lovers as they share information, talents and resources; pass on their knowledge and highlight the world’s food issues. Be a part of this global effort to make a difference. Food Revolution Day is about connecting with your community through events.
“As organic farmers and food producers, our passion has always been to inspire change in people’s food habits and to promote the mission for better food and education for everyone,” mused Marisa Goodwin. “We have made not only a lifestyle but lifetime commitment to making a difference in how and what the world eats.”
