On July 28 Alberta Sugar Beet Growers and Inspired Vacations will be holding a Farm-To-Table event featuring local ingredients and dishes at Picture Butte Cattlemen’s Chophouse.
“There’s a number of different producer groups that are showcased, and then the meal at the end of the day is sourced from the growers that you witnessed that day on your tour,” said Jennifer Crowson, executive director for the Alberta Sugar Beet Growers.
The Farm-To-Table event features different producers, and those who purchased tickets get a chance to visit the farm and hear about what is produced on that farm.
The event begins at 2:00 p.m. with a tour of a local Alberta Sugar Beet Growers farm. From 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., there will be a guided tour of the Picture Butte Museum, as the community happens to be celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Before dinner, people will get to browse the event’s first ever Farm-to-Table Market.
“We’ll have a number of different vendors that will be available that day that also produce products from Alberta refined beet sugar,” said Crowson.
The dinner will then take place at 6:30 p.m.
Those who purchase tickets will get an itinerary before the event.
At past events they’ve visited market gardens, Thrive Honey, a haskap berry farm near Picture Butte, along with a local sugar beet producer, which is something they feature every year.
