The Okanagan Chefs Association launched a new initiative entitled ‘Chefs in the Classroom – edible education’ in Spring of 2016.

Modeled after other successful edible education classes all over North America, Chefs in the Classroom is unique in that it is an Okanagan-inspired, hands-on curriculum with links to our Aboriginal community and practices. The highlight of the 6 lesson course is a field trip to a working farm with lunch hosted by our chefs and volunteer teams.
