Become a Feast of Fields Food or Beverage Presenter

Feast of Fields is your opportunity to shine and show your community how your business is connected to the land, supports our regional economy, and creates the most delicious local, seasonal, sustainable flavours BC has to offer.

Participants can apply to receive Local Food Stipends for chefs to purchase event ingredients directly from local farmers and ranchers. Our goal is to help connect and support chefs and food participants to join the Feast event with this stipend opportunity.
