"Field
To Fork" - 2009 Theme
An
opportunity to celebrate and learn about local food
production while having lots of fun.
These days we hear a lot in the news about global
warming, the 100-mile diet, and the importance of
quality sustainable food. Many of us are no longer
aware of the origins of the food we eat. A new generation
of people are learning the enjoyment of eating vegetables
grown in their own gardens. Here in Chilliwack we
are lucky to have 828 farms producing such things
as dairy products, poultry, vegetables, fruit and
berries, floriculture and nurseries.
The Chilliwack Fair is a family event – bring
the kids to see the animals and the petting zoo,
milk a goat and watch sheep shearing. Build a craft
and ride the rides. You can also see a black smith
shop, a saw mill and a threshing bee. Watch the
logging show and the rodeo.
