Who is the perfect participant?

• Those who love eating and cooking local food

Meet the facilitator: Cheyenne Sawchuk grew up on Salt Spring and has always had a passion for food. This passion took her through university where she studied and received a Honours Specialization Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutritional Sciences from the University of Western Ontario/Brescia University College. This passion for food has evolved into the goal to help spread the knowledge that she was fortunate enough to learn here on Salt Spring and the greater community.

By hosting this workshop, the Farmland Trust hopes to bridge the gap between farm- fresh food and the consumer, ultimately leading to more local food being consumed on Salt Spring Island.
