Harvest Table - A taste of Vancouver Island

In partnership with Food Day Canada and Keating Farm, Harvest Table is a new annual celebration of Vancouver Island food, farming, community and place. Join us Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Keating Farm in the Cowichan Valley for a day of discovery and an unforgettable evening celebrating the Island harvest. ?? DAYTIME CELEBRATION 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Explore, learn and gather at this family-friendly farm celebration. Meet the farmers, fishers, chefs, producers and community organizations behind Vancouver Island’s food system while enjoying live music, farm experiences, demonstrations, children’s activities, local food and beverages, and the Community Harvest Meal. Adult and youth tickets include admission to the full Daytime Celebration and a Community Harvest Meal. Children five and under may attend free, with a separate child meal ticket required if they will be participating in the meal. When booking, select your preferred Community Harvest Meal time. This is your meal time—not your event arrival time. Guests may arrive anytime between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. ?? HARVEST DINNER 5:00–9:00 p.m. As the sun begins to set, gather for an intimate, multi-course long-table dinner celebrating the extraordinary bounty of Vancouver Island. Participating chefs will collaborate with Island farmers, fishers, growers and producers to create a harvest-inspired menu rooted in the season. Guests will enjoy exceptional hospitality, live music and storytelling that connects each dish to the people, ingredients and place behind it. Harvest Dinner tickets include one welcome beverage. An optional Vancouver Island wine pairing is available separately for guests aged 19+, with additional beverages available for purchase. Meal times have limited capacity and may sell out, so early booking is recommended. Come hungry. Leave inspired.
