Our Best To You!

This past year was full of learning. We connected those who eat, make and bake food to the farmers who grow and raise food. Great questions were asked, myths were busted and we all took one step further in the farm to food conversation.

Every time we connected we all learned new things about growing food at the farm and making food delicious in the kitchen.

Here’s a peek back at our best from 2016. Be sure to watch for announcements for the events this year. Engage with us in person and online. We want to #canolaconnect with you!

Hands on Learning

Hands on Learning with Grilled Cheese | www.canolaeatwell.com

There were many hands-on learning workshops but the one that keeps coming up in discussions was our Great Grilled Cheese Challenge.

We gathered in the kitchen and hung onto every word, tip, trick and technique from Chef Afrim of The Cheese Boutique.

Did you know: the best grilled cheese requires picking the best ingredients and we were thrilled to learn that canola oil is what gives the bread such a perfect crunch!

Some of our other favourite hands-on learning adventures:

 

#MakeItCanola

It was so much fun to see kitchen creations from coast to coast using Canadian canola oil. You tweeted, instagrammed, posted to Facebook and even shared a few in person. There’s nothing better than seeing a community share ideas, tips and recipes with each other.

Check out many of the amazing photos and stories of inspiration on Instagram #MakeItCanola.

 

I Heart Farmers

You can take it from us (video above) or you can watch from a camper Matt’s perspective (below). Either way, Harvest camp is a truly unique opportunity that brings the farm to food conversation into the hearts and minds of everyone involved. Year after year, Harvest Camp is a top highlight for the Canola Eat Well team, the campers attending and the farm families we visit.

Cheers to another year packed with learning, community growth and new adventures. Join us online, follow the conversation and we hope to see you soon!
