Local cuisine, made with local ingredients, and served at local establishments…

Restaurants, breweries, food trucks, and coffee shops in Alberta, including in the Peace Region, are participating in the 5th annual Alberta on the Plate promotion.

It’s a dine-around where participating establishments offer fixed-price menus highlighting local producers, growers, distillers, and brewers.

The promotion features over 200 farms in Alberta providing and highlighting ingredients and flavours.

Also, providing relationship-building between food service operators and local farms and producers to create a more sustainable local food economy, is a primary goal of the campaign.

Rheannon Green is the Director of Finer Details with Food Tourism Strategies Incorporated.
