Northern Food Connections Conference
Join us for the second annual Northern Food Connections conference on March 4, 2011 at Confederation College. The theme this year is Growing Relationships, Harvesting Opportunities. There is an exciting line-up of presenters and activities planned. The conference will open with a presentation by Bryan Gilvesy, a multi award-winning farmer from Southern Ontario with expertise in species at risk. Mr. Gilvesy’s Y U Ranch produces Local Food Plus certified beef, dealing directly with consumers in Southern Ontario.
You will also learn from keynote speaker David Abazs of Finland, Minnesota’s Round River Farm, an expert in sustainable farming and a new locally grown diet. Mr. Abazs is an acclaimed presenter who can demonstrate how we can feed ourselves directly from our region only.
We will also be joined by James Murphy of Savour Muskoka who will share his story of the development of his region’s community agricultural assets. An evening networking event and culinary tour will feature local food from area farmers prepared by local chefs, restaurateurs, caterers, Confederation College’s culinary arts staff and students.
