Get Ready For the second ever Rural Roots Farmer Showcase!

Last year, the first ever Rural Roots Farmer showcase was a smashing success. During the vendor food market portion of the showcase vendors rejoiced at the opportunity to network with attendees. Furthermore, Janice Beaton Cheese Partners and Collette's kitchen were both able to sell out of all the stock they brought. Additionally, last years meat vendors- Aspen Acres Market Garden and Blue Ridge Farms- had steady business throughout the day. Cindy and Brad of the Culina To Go restaurant provided a flavorful meal, using the food products provided to them by the vendors. For example, Denise from Hill and Dale graciously provided the folks at Culina with some farm fresh produce, and Jillian from Blue Ridge Farms provided them with bacon for the meal. Bob Chelmick, the host of the CKUA radio program “On The Road Home”, was the m.c. of the night and was able to create a lovely atmosphere for the evening. Overall, the first ever Rural Roots Farmer showcase was a magical event. Because of its overwhelming success, we are elated to announce that the George Pegg Botanic Garden will be hosting another Rural Roots Farmer showcase in 2020. Right now, the RRFS committee and Pegg Garden are moving forward with planning the 2020 Rural Root Farmer Showcase.
