Talented Home Cooks Gathering On June 25 For ‘Joy Of Feeding’ At UBC Farm

JoF2016_1920x1080

UBC Farm is such a great place. It’s home to fantastic learning gardens, programs and workshops, a Saturday Farmers Market, chickens, cob buildings and lovely grounds to explore. We are proud that a farm like this exists in our city. But keeping it going does cost money. Consider contributing to its strength and the impact it has on our community by kicking in with a little support while filling your belly at the same time…

Clear your schedule for June 25th, when fifteen home cooks from different ethnic backgrounds gather to offer their family comfort foods at the 5th annual Joy Of Feeding international food fair and UBC Farm fundraiser created by Vij’s Chef Meeru Dhalwala and support “learning, research, and community programs at UBC Farms.”

With multicultural music, tours of the farm, and dishes from Chile, Dene First Nation, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Ojibway First Nation, the Philippines, Poland, Italy, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, and our home city, it’ll be a night of heart, soul, and some damn fine cooking.

Saturday, June 25th | 5-8 PM | UBC Farm (3461 Ross Drive) | $55 (Free for kids under 12) | Tickets
