Chew on This! 

Introducing “Chew on This!”, a bi-weekly Speaker Series at the South Osborne farmers’ market in which a variety of local food experts, activists and champions are invited to give informal mini-lectures, sharing their ideas and work and encouraging a conversation for all members of our community to participate in.
​
Why have Speakers at a Farmers’ Market? We recognize that the local food movement needs to be more than just buying and selling produce-- by creating a space for conversations about food and both the joys and the issues in our local food systems, we hope to create a space that encourages people to connect over ideas and action as well as delicious locally-grown products.

Who’s Speaking? Invited speakers will have a wide variety of knowledge and lived experience in food-- from farming, artisanal production, queering food spaces, labour rights in the food industry, indigenous food, culinary arts, food justice and accessibility, and creating and challenging the status quo through food and food-centric communities. 

When and Where does Chew on This! happen? The speaker series will happen in a shaded tent in the grassy area west of the rink at the South Osborne Farmers’ Market every other Wednesday from 7:00-7:30 pm beginning on June 26th.
