Inspired by Local!

Inspired by Local is happening Saturday, August 17th at the Farmers & Makers Market at cSPACE. This event will showcase local farmers, growers and makers in celebration of Alberta Local Food Week and Alberta Open Farm Days.  Among other festivities there will be three chef led tours of the market (10:30, noon, 1:30).  During the tour each chef will select ingredients that will then be featured in a short cooking demo. The numbers for each tour are limited and Wade (chef/owner Forage and Infuse) will be doing the noon tour.  You can sign up for a chef market tour in the Courtyard on the West side of cSPACE and Wade’s cooking demonstration and samples will start around 12:30pm.
