EAT! Fraser Valley 2011

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Last weekend we visited Eat! Fraser Valley, a Food & Cooking Festival for people who love to cook, eat, and grow food, which probably sums up most people in the Fraser Valley.  This event has been growing over the past few years and this year did not disappoint.

The crowds were thick, but there was a wide variety of exhibitors to discover throughout the Marketplace.  It’s great to see local gems making a name for themselves on a bigger market and being able to introduce their products to a greater population.  A few of the stops we made were at Honeyview Farms, Anita’s Organic Grain & Flour, as well as Gelderman Farms and many, many more.
