September's Speaker:
Chris Bodnar of Glen Valley Organic Farm Cooperative

Topic:
A farmer's direct relationship with their customer through CSA, farmers markets, and restaurant delivery.

Biography:
Chris Bodnar started farming at Glen Valley Organic Farm beginning in the 2007 season. Prior to farming Chris was an academic in the field of Communication. A desire to work in a more sustainable and locally-based career lead him to consider other work. Inspired by the work of local food-related organizations, Chris decided to investigate farming. Glen Valley Organic Farm currently employs 7 people to grow organic fruit, vegetables and eggs on 12.5 acres. Glen Valley Organic Farm is co-operatively owned by 70 shareholders who purchased the farm in 1998. Two GVOFC farm enterprises sell produce at seven farmers markets. Their fruit and vegetables are used by restaurants across the Lower Mainland as well as home delivery grocery services. GVOFC farm mainly sells to the public at farmers markets, both as Glen Valley Organic Farm and through the Langley Organic Growers co-operative, and through our CSA Harvest Box program at NOW BC. We sell to two restaurants directly (Aphrodite's Cafe and Seasonal 56) and to a local distributor (Biovia).

Topic:
Growing local grain and the first grain CSA in the lower mainland

Biography:
Chris Hergesheimer holds a B.A. in Anthropology from Simon Fraser University. He is the founding member of the Local-Grain-Initiative. Hergesheimer's goal is to position himself at the centre of a community dedicated to local sustainable food production in just the way the community miller was central to communities before the mega-marts and the 10,000-kilometre supply chain. Chris organizes FF/CF’S Grain Chain Coordinator whilst he runs his own business, The Flour Peddler.

Jim Grieshaber-Otto of Cedar Isle Farm together with Diane Exley and their two children, manage a community-minded family farm that has been growing small amounts of grain for several decades. About 100 acres in size, Cedar Isle Farm partners with a neighbouring dairy farm to produce silage and hay (for both cows and horses), and pastures Angus beef cattle, layer hens, and free-range broiler chickens.The farm grows a few acres of grain each year – mostly oats and wheat – which is either used as animal feed or sold to friends and neighbors. Although not certified, the farm has long operated under organic principles and is in the process of seeking certification.

December's Speaker:
Chef Andrea Carlson of Bishops and Heather Pritchard of Glorious Organics Farmer

Topic:
Co-creation of our local food cuisine

Biography:
Chef Andrea Carlson is a graduate of the Dubrulle Culinary School, Chef Carlson honed her culinary skills under Executive Chef Rob Clark at Vancouver's famed C Restaurant, first as a pastry chef and later as Sous Chef. While at C Restaurant, she pursued her interest in plants and gardens by taking courses in landscape design. From C, she moved to Victoria to work under Chef Edward Tuscon at the multi-awarded Sooke Harbour House with its famed edible landscap. Andrea Carlson has garnered the Prestigious Green Award from Vancouver Magazine. The citation reads: “Her green approach got its formal start in 2003 at Sooke Harbour House on Vancouver Island, a restaurant surrounded by herb-rich gardens, fresh seafood, and local producers. In Vancouver she became deeply involved in local community initiatives, including the Green Table Network (to encourage composting and water reduction in restaurants), Growing Chefs (where chefs visit classrooms to discuss sustainable agriculture), and UBC Farm’s Outstanding in the Field (a gourmet dining series that promotes farming initiatives). When the 100-Mile Diet was catching on, Carlson when she was at Raincity Grill, was the first chef in town to feature a 100-mile menu; more recently, she helped launch the city’s compost program by composting with the mayor.”
