Festival season will be upon us soon and one of the earlier culinary events of the season is the Island's Chef Cooperative's (ICC) Defending our Backyard Festival at Fort Rodd Hill Food Festival May 30, 2010 from 12-4pm.
The event is designed to raise awareness of local food production and agriculture and the importance of small scale farming. The event is also a fundraiser for the ICC's grant program supporting local farmers.
Come and enjoy food and beverages from a variety of local restaurants, wineries and breweries, as well as taking the opportunity to learn more about community initiatives to encourage small scale farming.
Little Piggy Catering will be hosting a table at this year's event - so come say hi!
Tickets and information about volunteering and vendor information are available here.
