Come Eat With Me 2025

Come Eat With Me 2025 is a vibrant reflection on the foods, stories, and sustainable agriculture initiatives that shaped this year’s program. Rooted in the success of last year’s pilot and informed by years of climate-focused food security work, this exhibit offers a sensory journey through community-grown harvests, wild-foraged knowledge, and land-based innovation. It celebrates the hands that plant, prepare, and preserve, showcasing how food connects us across cultures and generations. More than a meal, it’s a shared act of resilience and creativity.

The Saskatoon Berry Tapestry

These early white blossoms belong to the Saskatoon bush (Amelanchier alnifolia), one of the boreal forest’s most generous and resilient plants. For generations, Saskatoon berries have nourished communities, supported pollinators, and thrived in northern climates. This year, we're proud to be adding Saskatoon bushes to our food production project—deepening our connection to the land, strengthening local food systems, and honouring traditional knowledge through action.
