Feast of Fields - a gourmet wandering harvest festival - is FarmFolkCityFolk's annual fundraising event. With a wine glass and linen napkin in hand, you can taste the very best of BC from chefs, vintners, brewers, farmers, and food artisans from across the province. Connections are made between producers and chefs, food producers and consumers, and farm folks and city folks. These connections provide an increased awareness of and appreciation for local food and agriculture. Feast of Fields is a gastronomic journey towards a sustainable, local food system.
Melanie Banas - Coordinator of the Vancouver Island Feast of Fields - is passionate about food and is committed to improving the local food system. She has worked in the food industry in Victoria for over a decade, serving in many fine dining rooms in Victoria and for many years at the Sooke Harbour House. She has been involved with the organization of the Island Feast of Fields since its inception in 1998.
