For our year-end windup this year, we are planning a farm-to-table 5km meal.
The prospective date for planning purposes is Saturday 23rd June. It will involve a meal to be created from products that are available from our host farm, Rudy Reimer’s Watersong Farms in Warren, Mb and from neighbouring farms that include a micro-greens and egg farm, a monastery that makes cheeses as well as Rudy’s trout and chicken farming.
The meal will be guided by a chef local to the area and knowledgeable about the farm-fresh products. We will, as always, do the cooking. There will be paired wines and relevant beverage choices and as a consequence we are planning to lay on a bus to take us and our spousal equivalents from Polo Park at 1:00 pm and drop us back there by 10:00 pm. So yes, this is a time commitment for us and our ladies. Any of the ladies not wishing to participate in the afternoon will travel on their own to Watersong for the evening.
The program will involve tours of the host farms to introduce us to the production methods and operations and the bus is retained for that purpose. There is also a butcher on hand at Watersong and a large smoking oven so we will have a variety of proteins and cooking techniques to explore.
We trust this will provide an exciting opportunity to connect with food in a different way and will prove to be an enjoyable day for our members and spouses.
