A B.C. event that connects Vancouver Island farmers and food producers with chefs took place Monday.
The Every Chef Needs a Farmer, Every Farmer Needs a Chef event took place at the Church and State Winery in Central Saanich and is sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in an effort to increase food security through the Buy BC program.
Amanda Swinimer, who harvests wild seaweed and sells it from her Dakini Tidal Wild business on Vancouver Island, was at the event and said that she wished these types of meetups were around when she started her business in 2003. "Now I’m selling about three-quarters of my supply direct to chefs," said Swinimer."Because the chefs have embraced this local, wild, sustainable food that has this really, really unique flavour to it."
