Join the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at the UBC Farm as we celebrate the beautiful bitters grown right here in British Columbia. This event will feature radicchio-themed tasters from local chefs, product demos, examples of participatory vegetable-breeding projects, great beer and wine pairings and an opportunity to meet local farmers passionate about growing chicories. CSFS Postdoctoral Fellow Alexandra Lyon will be presenting and doing a carrot tasting on the Canadian Organic Vegetable Improvement (CANOVI) project at the festival on Nov. 17 – don’t miss out!
