For the first few hundred thousand years humankind knew exactly where food came from. There was a close, almost romantic relationship between hunter and prey, gatherer and bounty, farmer and harvest.

Somehow, in the last decades, humankind just lost it. Beyond the fact that milk may contain more growth hormones than certain baseball players and genetically modified veggies may be insect-lettuce hybrids, it is simply difficult to fall in love with food when you don’t know its origin.

The Network Hub and Foodtree invite you to meet some businesses that lead the farm-to- table movement in the most beautiful city on Earth. Taste some fantastic foods and learn about the farmers and the Earth who provided the harvest.

Featured speaker: Chef Anthony Nicalo, CEO of Foodtree and founder of Farmstead Wines

You will also have a chance to chat with the founders of some of Vancouver’s leading farm- to-table enterprises. Enjoy samples from Dao Tea, Mogiana Coffee, Farmstead Wines, Seeds of Plenty and Inevitable Table.
