25th Annual Metro Vancouver Feast of Fields
September 8, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT
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 we are very excited to be hosting Metro Vancouver’s 25th Anniversary Feast of Fields 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.
NEW this year! Early bird discounts and a special VIP package!
For the “Ultimate Feast Experience”, our VIP package (limited to 30 tickets only) includes:
Priority entrance, food and beverages prepared exclusively for you in your private area and concierge service from a Feast of Fields volunteer, a personal guided tour of the farm grounds, a commemorative Feast of Fields VIP gift bag and souvenir cedar plate for each guest, and the opportunity to meet a local chef.
