On Sunday, September 11, 2011 Canadian Organic Growers – Ottawa Chapter will once again bring together some of the best in regional foods in a celebration of the season’s harvest. COG Ottawa’s Feast of Fields pairs numerous teams of the finest organic farmers and chefs from the Ottawa Valley to create a uniquely regional culinary extravaganza. As true stewards of the environment, organic farmers grow according to nationally certified standards of excellence – better for the environment and better for people!

This year’s event is ideally located on the farm in the heart of the city. The Central Experimental Farm provides rural ambience perfect for a harvest festival, yet offers easy access by public transit, bicycle, or car, with ample free parking. Feast of Fields tickets will include entrance to The Farm Museums. Children under 12 will enjoy free entrance to the event with a participating parent. Your ticket is great value for your money!  We expect up to 500 guests for an afternoon of fine food sampling and entertainment.

This showcase for our organic farmers and chefs is more than a culinary celebration – it is a fundraiser for COG Ottawa’s Information Booth and the Growing Up Organic & Farmer Outreach program. It is about nurturing a healthy community through learning about the foods we eat – and through the foods we grow. It helps schools to build organic gardens tended by students and their families, supports on-the-farm classroom experiences and apprenticeship camps, and our newest initiative: Organic Cafés prepared by students. It also includes outreach support to help local farmers to manage the transition to organic certification and to develop secure regional markets plus support for our Information Booth operation.

Our theme for 2011 is
“Feast of Fields From our Organic Farms”

By sponsoring this event you have a unique opportunity to promote your business, reaching out to people who share your enthusiasm for healthy communities and healthy environments. Packages detailed below.

Organized by Canadian Organic Growers – Ottawa Chapter (COG -Ottawa), Feast of Fields Ottawa offers an extensive media and outreach strategy which includes: 

Audience Composition

Feast of Fields  attracts 500+ organic-minded participants, upper income residents, well educated and progressive, health-minded and food connoisseurs from the Ottawa-Gatineau area.

Participant/Exhibitor Composition

Participants are located within a 100 mile radius of the event, lessening the carbon footprint and providing an excellent example of organic food supply produced locally.

Event Organization

The organizers of Feast of Fields Ottawa strive to keep our carbon footprint as small as possible – we use ‘real’ dishes (china), do not permit the use of disposable food containers for serving and have implemented a recycling/composting program into the event.

We will work with you to tailor a sponsor package that best serves the needs of both your organization and the event. Following is a description of the sponsorship levels currently being offered – this is meant to serve as a guideline. Partnership opportunities are available for “in-kind” sponsorship at comparable levels to our cash sponsorship opportunities. We’d be happy to discuss these opportunities further with your organization. We’ll be in touch!
