If you're looking for something to do this weekend...

Anyone in the Victoria area concerned about the future of local food? This Sunday the Friends of Madrona Farm Society is putting the "fun" in fundraising and hosting the Island Chefs' Survival Challenge at Madrona Farm. Come and watch 10 high-profile Victoria chefs battle the elements, run a farm-related obstacle race and hunt for their own veggies, then strip their equipment down to basics and create masterpiece meals with what really matters - quality local ingredients! Participants can interact with the chefs, and bid on a made-before-you mouthwatering meal featuring the deliciousness that comes from the farm. Proceeds go to The Land Conservancy for the purchase of Madrona Farm - this project will keep Madrona Farm as a productive, sustainable food farm forever. For more information, see www.madronafarm.com Tickets available at the farm gate Wed-Sat 11-3, 4317 Blenkinsop Rd.
