RIPE is a night of food that is all grown from the farmers that sell at our weekly farmers markets prepared by Chefs Robert Clark and Quang Dang of C Restaurant, with live entertainment, a silent auction, local beer & wine and your chance to become involved and excited about the local food scene in Vancouver. The evening’s MC will be well-known local foodie Jamie Maw – and we want you to be there!

The evening promises to be filled with fabulous local talent from our farmers (their produce), regional brew masters and vineyards (libations), amazing chefs (Robert Clark and Quang Dan of C Restaurant), MC Jamie Maw to take us through the evening, and SO much more.
