CHAMPIONING LOCAL AGRICULTURE THROUGH GOOD FOOD ADVENTURES Jenn Manuel
FoodArtNature (FAN) is changing the way people think about visiting a place: out with the tourism industry and in with a tourism relationship that celebrates the community, sustainability and agricultural richness of the Annapolis Valley. Our newest addition to the FAN Collective of experiences is the Good Food Adventures, an opportunity to taste what local really means. At the helm of this unique offering is the Wolfville Farmers’ Market, our community hub that connects families to farmers on a weekly basis. With this addition to our Collective, we are thrilled to announce our newest partnership with What On Earth Farm, a small-scale, sustainable farm dedicated to producing high-quality, no-spray produce while maintaining a low environmental footprint. On a Good Food Adventure, participants will have the opportunity to visit What On Earth Farm, learn from James Twaddell about their sustainable farming practices and hear his journey into agriculture. Following the farm visit, we’ll meet Ayzhia Beaton from Basin & Bloom Cookery to prepare a lunch together

using the freshly harvested produce. The first Good Food Adventure will take place during our FANfare event from Aug. 10 to 18. This week-long celebration is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the bounty of the Annapolis Valley, with a curated lineup of experiences designed to highlight the region’s agricultural and ecological richness. There will be something for everyone, including botanical stone casting, deep forest immersion through forest bathing and exploring fields and forests with miniature Nubian goats. Each experience offers a chance to learn, create and connect, providing a refreshing escape into the heart of the Valley. Through these adventures, we aim to sow the seeds of appreciation and support for the incredible work our local farmers do every day. Learn more about the Good Food Adventure, the FoodArtNature Collective and our upcoming FANfare week at foodartnature.ca.
