Celebrate Alberta Local Food Week
|
|
|
Alberta Local Food Week was established back in 2018 as part of the Supporting Alberta’s Local Food Sector Act. It takes place each year during the third week of August (which is also why #ABonthePlate also takes place during the same time). Alberta Local Food Week gives you a chance to meet local farmers and entrepreneurs who work to put nutritious food on our plates, and to show support for all things grown, made and harvested in Alberta.
How can you celebrate Alberta Local Food Week? Here's a few ideas:
