The third annual Eats Local sustainable food festival is on Saturday, Aug. 6.
Held at Driediger Farms, 23823 72 Ave., the event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“Our goal is to offer fresh and local high end street food without the added garbage like msg, loads of sugar and salt or artificial food colouring,” said Stephanie Captein, the agriculture program co-ordinator for the Environmental Partners Society.
“As an organization that intends to pave the way to healthy eating and feed as many people as possible we strive to respect the environment and the communities we serve as well as the planet by not serving you prepackaged adulterated foods minimizing our footprint and optimizing local sources.
“For you? Fast food cooked fresh.”
There will be a number of vendors at Driediger Farms Market, and this year’s concession will be provided by Suburban Spoon, a large purple van selling high-end street food made with local products.
Captein explained that ‘high end street food’ refers to suppliers’ commitment to provide high-quality concession food that is locally grown without artificial chemicals.
