[BNS_members] Fwd: You're invited! Food-Art-Nature Experiential Tourism Project Pilot Event for "Cultivation Days"

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good afternoon,

I have been asked to share this lovely invitation with the BNS 
community.
The FAN Experiential Tourism project is piloting a new event, 
"Cultivation Days", focused around local, ecological food, on Monday 
March 20th.
While this is the same day as our Monthly Meeting [1] (at 7:30 pm at the 
Curling Club or online on Zoom with John Brazner giving a talk on vernal 
pools), the Cultivation Days event is throughout the afternoon and there 
may be an option to leave early if you are keen to make both events work 
in your schedule. Plus they are a stone's throw from each other!

Please share with those who may be interested, as RSVPs are due tomorrow 
evening. Kindly contact Ann at barbaraann.coombs at gmail.com for more 
details.

Warmly,

Caroline

Please RSVP by Thursday, March 16th 2023 at 5pm 😃

Dear valued member of the Wolfville Farmers' Market community,

In partnership with the Food-Art-Nature Experiential Tourism project we 
have been working on developing something special, and on March 20 we 
invite you to join us to experience it for yourself. If you are 
interested in attending the event outlined below, please confirm your 
attendance no later than Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 5pm by emailing Ann 
Coombs at: barbaraann.coombs at gmail.com

Our new event series, Cultivation Days, celebrates, showcases and 
engages with the farmers, vendors, makers and patrons of the Wolfville 
Farmers' Market. Each event in the series will feature a unique, 
seasonal theme. Through this event series, we hope to draw visitors from 
within and outside of our local region, through the offering of 
authentic exploratory learning experiences which will serve to amplify 
and enhance the values and practices of the Wolfville Market community.

On Monday, March 20 we will be hosting our pilot event, with a theme 
which focuses on reimagining how we garden and grow food. For our 
initial pilot invitations, we are focusing exclusively on our WFM 
community & supporters, in hopes of creating a special day for you to 
all enjoy time together. We invite you to join us for the full day 
experience, which will take place at three locations. Here are a few 
details:

	*

The full event is 6 hours (2pm - 8pm) and will take place both outside 
and inside at various times. We encourage you to dress warmly, wear 
appropriate sturdy footwear and gloves.
	*

The event will start at 2pm at Terra Tonics Farm (89 Rockwell Mountain 
Rd, Centreville, NS B0P 1J0), please arrive by 1:50pm.
	*

Just after 3pm we will move to Olde Furrow Farm (569 Belcher St, Port 
Williams, NS B0P 1T0) for a start time of 3:30pm.
	*

We will arrive at our third destination, the Wolfville Farmers' Market 
(24 Elm Ave, Wolfville, NS B4P 1Z9) before 5pm, where we will share in a 
locally sourced three course vegetarian meal, primarily featuring 
ingredients from our Wolfville Farmers' Market vendors. We are also 
honoured to welcome author Elizabeth Peirce as our keynote speaker that 
evening.
	*

If you have allergies or food restrictions, please advise Ann Coombs at: 
barbaraann.coombs at gmail.com by Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 5pm at the 
latest.
	*

As this is a pilot experience, both photography and videography will be 
a part of the day, and participants will be required to sign a Talent 
Release Form.
	*

Following the event, as a participant in our pilot event, you will 
receive a brief form requesting feedback on your experience. To help us 
improve and to celebrate our successes of the day, your feedback is 
truly appreciated.

We hope that we have enticed you to join us for our pilot event on March 
20. This event series will serve as an ongoing fundraiser to support 
community programming at the Wolfville Farmers' Market. As such, we hope 
that you will consider investing in this opportunity through a 
pay-what-you-can donation in support of our pilot program. If you are 
unsure what to donate, please consider something within the range of 
$25-$75, or whatever feels right. For the actual event, tickets are 
valued at $200 per person. Pay-what-you-can donations can be made by 
cash or e-transfer to accounts at wolfvillefarmersmarket.ca

Participants will be registered on a first come first served basis. 
Please confirm your attendance (or send your regrets) no later than 
Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 5pm.

With thanks,

Lindsay Leckie
Business Development Manager
