Heidi’s Seasonal Picks
Feature Resource
Saanich Organics
Local food security in action, Saanich Organics is a community of farmers from small, certified organic farms who work together to supply fresh local produce and top-quality organic seeds to Greater Victoria BC. They have multiple farms stands throughout the CRD and can be found at several weekend farmers markets. And they also offer a CSA box delivery program. Find details about where to find their beautiful produce at the link
Feature Ingredient
Rhubarb
Rhubarb acts like the first fruit of the season, even though it is actually a vegetable – it’s a stem, not the ovary of a flowering plant. That said, rhubarb’s tart refreshing flavour and vibrant pink colour make for a pretty fruity experience. It is most often used in desserts, of which I have several on my blog. The most famous is Rhubarb Custard Bars, but my personal favourite is Rhubarb Sorbet - the very essence of rhubarb.
Feature Event
Victoria Firefighters Wingstock Fundraiser
The Victoria Firefighter's Association presents the 2nd annual Wingstock! Wings, craft drinks, live music, all for a good cause. After rave reviews last year, this great event is back. Wings and other tasty treats from local restaurants and craft beverages from BC breweries, distilleries, wineries and cideries all in one place. Proceeds from this event will benefit the charities supported by the Victoria Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation.
