Hello and thank you for your time,

Sooke Region Food CHI Society with generous support from the District of Sooke is proud to present our second annual Farm and Food Garden Tour Sunday, August 14 from 10am- 5 pm. This self guided tour will feature 11 unique local farms and gardens in and around the Otter Point area.

 

Attached are the press release and poster for the event. Please circulate and share with your networks and help us make this event a success in our region!

Volunteers are also needed at this time. Please contact Keeley Nixon at keele...@gmail.com if you'd like to volunteer at one of the venues to work with a grower, meet and greet people, and help with any set up/take down. This is a great chance to connect with more people in the community and show you support for our farmers.

 

Tickets are $10 (free for ages 15 and under) and are on sale now in Sooke at Shoppers Drug Mart, Peoples Drug Mart, Double D Gardens, Westburn Garden Centre, and Sooke Country Market (Saturdays). In Victoria, tickets are available at all Dig This locations and Moss St Market (Saturdays). Free for ages 15 and under. Tickets are also available in Sooke on the tour day at Shoppers Drug Mart and Peoples Drug Mart.

For more information contact in...@sookefoodchi.ca

Please let us know if any further information is required for an article or if a member of our organizing committee can assist you in an interview.

Thank you for your time and best wishes for summer!
