Community Event: From Field to Fork Program
Burnaby Food First also wanted to let you know about a great program happening this summer at Burnaby Village Museum!
From Field to Fork
Every Tuesday afternoon, 3:00 pm / July and August
Burnaby Village Museum (6501 Deer Lake Avenue / Burnaby - map)
Visitors can get down and dirty in the Love Farmhouse vegetable patch on a FREE “From Field to Fork” program at Burnaby Village Museum. This hands-on, 45-minute family program highlights the importance of farming communities in Burnaby by exploring the real deal.
Led by a historical interpreter, participants will explore a variety of topics including Pioneer farmers, Chinese-Canadian market gardeners, victory gardens, large-scale agriculture, sustainability, the local food movement, and the popularity of farmers' markets today.
Participants are encouraged to help plant, weed, harvest, water, and thin the garden. Each participant will receive a free carousel ride ticket and their own pre-made heritage seed pack to take home and plant. A maximum of 20 participants can be accommodated on each tour.
