The Eating Heritage Festival, being organized by the dedicated Cocagne Acadie Slow Food Convivium, is seeking to create NB’s largest week-long kitchen party by uniting Maritime traditions with Slow Food Canada’s mission.
The Slow Food Movement is taking the world by storm as more and
more, we are drilling down on how to sustainably support producers of our most precious edible resources while preserving the planet. The Maritimes has a great track record for providing good, clean and fair food via the dozens of farmer’s markets and local producers. You might even hear an argument or two over whose strawberries are better - Nova Scotia’s or New Brunswick’s.
Eating Heritage Festival
This year, The Eating Heritage Festival will take over Southeast NB. While Dieppe, NB will be a hub of activity, expect events to pop up around the countryside where some of our region’s most fertile food and drink originates. Delegates will be joining the celebration from across Canada to sample all things Maritime and to commit to supporting the homegrown resources that provide for us and the generations before us.
By focusing on food that is good, clean and fair, the organizers of the Slow Food & The Eating Heritage Festival believe we can increase prosperity for both people and the planet. Given the Maritime love for where we live, what it yields and who lives here, it is only natural that Slow Food Canada finds its ‘happy place’ here among the kitchen parties.
