Durham College hosts Harvest Dinner at the Centre for Food

Durham College’s (DC) Centre for Food (CFF) is hosting its first Harvest Dinner on Thursday, September 24. Tantalize your taste buds with a menu featuring fresh food grown and harvested by DC food and farming students, cooked by DC culinary and baking students, and served by DC hospitality and event planning students.

Meet special guest and Centre for Food ambassador, celebrity Chef Jamie Kennedy, who will be in attendance to support the CFF’s vision of ‘field-to-fork’ – a concept that is shaping the future of local food and farming industries to help maintain Ontario’s strong agricultural tradition.

Proceeds from the Harvest Dinner will fund bursaries for students enrolled in the CFF’s culinary, baking, food and farming, event planning and hospitality programs. The bursaries will be awarded in the winter semester – January 2016, and applicants will be required to submit a 500 word essay as to how the “field-to-fork” vision and local produce is crucial to the future of their industry.

This event is proudly hosted in partnership with Foodland Ontario.
