Feast On® Signature Experiences aren’t your average foodie events.

Consumer Day

You might recognize these events by another name: “Feast On the Farm”. We’ve rejigged the name to reflect the obvious - not every event takes place on a farm!

The guest experience remains unchanged, through. These events are a true celebration of locally sourced, ethically farmed ingredients, where guests can indulge in curated dishes by some of Ontario’s top chefs and enjoy a selection Ontario craft beer, wine, cider, and spirits and

Guests learn about regenerative and organic agriculture practices through interactive light-touch educational sessions and are encouraged to "stay and play" in the region.

Industry Day

Anchored by hands-on workshops, spirited presentations, and round table discussions, Industry Day is for folks to learn about incorporating local Ontario ingredients into their menus and implementing sustainable practices in their businesses through the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Industry Day is open to all industry professionals, not just Feast On® certified stakeholders. Attendees enjoy a day of recharging, knowledge sharing, and of course - great food.

A local Chef is recruited to provide lunch on Industry Day, which increases support for local business and furthers the economic impact on the local community.


Zero. Waste.

Carbon Neutrality

Carbon credits are purchased to offset the carbon emissions produced by travel for all event guests and team members, as well as all event-related carbon emitted at each event venue.

Single-use plastic and straws of any kind are not used at the event. In addition to using either reusable/biodegradable plateware, glassware, and napkins, Chefs are also encouraged to create edible vessels in their dishes.

Food Rescue

Promotional Materials

The event uses limited paper collateral and minimal signage. Nothing custom is created for each event, only reusable, pre-existing destination promotional materials are used. Paper programs are not used at the event.
