I attended another joyous festival of food and drink this past Sunday for the 21st annual FarmFolk CityFolk’s, Metro Vancouver Feast of Fields, this was my 6th Feast of Fields. It was a cloudy cool day with a great crowd of passionate people out to enjoy an afternoon of eating, drinking and wandering through the farm.
