At the close of the harvest season, FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD is a gathering rooted in food, connection, and the spirit of offering. Bring a recipe, a story, an idea or a hope for the future as we come together to share what we have gathered and imagine what we might create together.
Before attending the gathering, please read the "What Guests Will Need" section below.
As the Good Food Network’s annual gathering, this is one of the region’s key opportunities for people working across the food system to come together, bringing government, business, funders, farmers and food producers, Indigenous and community leaders, researchers, health and education partners, and community organizations into the same space.
This year’s Gathering will be reflecting on the evolution of the Good Food Network, the tranformation of our regional food system, and the seeds we need to sow for a sustainable and equitable future.
Together, we will explore emerging trends, innovative and impactful work, and key findings from Good Food Evolution, our comprehensive 10-year evaluation of regional food-system collaboration and impact, through a creative, arts-based experience designed to spark new insights, relationships and possibilities for what comes next.
What Guests Will Need:
This year we ask that guests bring a recipe to include in our Community Recipe Table. Food does not only feed us physically, it nourishes our minds, souls, and communities. Bring a recipe that is meaninful to you, and discover recipes that feed our network!
Following the gathering, we will be generating a Recipe Book. This book will collect our network's favourite recipes and create a space where we can connect to one another through food, and our desire to sow stronger harvests in the future. There will be an opportunity to drop off physical recipes at the Community Recipe Table, which will be open throughout the duration of the gathering. Additionally, guests will have the opportunity to share their recipes and discuss future harvests, what seeds will be needed, and how our network can help them grow. Bring a recipe, bring the seeds you would like to see sown in your community, and gather with us For the Love of Food!
