If you’re concerned about food in North America and you’re in Vancouver, you’ll have no dilemma about what to do this Saturday, Juin 6: Chef de l' UBC Farm.

Auteur Michael Pollan, who wrote the thought-provoking book, Le dilemme de l'Omnivore, et, plus récemment,, En défense de la nourriture: An Eater’s Manifesto, is appearing at a benefit event for the farm that begins at 1 h.

In addition to the appearance by Pollan, the afternoon will include guided tours of the farm, as well as live music and entertainment. Bring a picnic lunch!

For tickets, qui sont $45 and include a signed copy of En défense de la nourriture, contact Barbara Jo’s Books to Cooks à 604-688-6755.

And if you’re looking to buy locally-grown produce, l' Marché UBC Farm is open Saturdays from 9 sur – 1 h, beginning June 13 and running into October. Allez-y tôt, si, since they often run out of favorites — like their delicious salad greens — shortly after they open each week.
