National Organic Week – what a perfect time to launch our Dine with the Stars series!

Dining with the Stars began as an awareness campaign undertaken by the Food Miles Committee of the Saskatchewan Organic Directorate (SOD). The committee’s goals were simple: connect our producers, restaurants, and consumers to each other, and raise awareness about the diverse and plentiful array of healthy, local, and organic food found right here in Saskatchewan.

Over the past year, thirteen restaurants, and an A-list of local celebrities were invited to take part in the Dining with the Stars project. Seventeen producers donated local, organic food, which the chefs artfully prepared into gourmet meals. Local restaurants played host to the events as the producers and stars were invited to indulge in fabulous meals with engaging conversations and hours of evening fun which included sampling organic beer and wine. All of the events were captured on film, and from this the intriguing mini-series known as Dining with the Stars was born. Canada’s National Organic Week events will be taking place from October 15-22nd. This is the largest annual celebration of organic food, farming and products across the country. Hundreds of individual events showcase the benefits of organic agriculture and its positive impact on the environment.

Join us on Sunday, October 16th at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum to discover where to plan your next special meal away from your own dining room with the best of chefs in Saskatchewan as we show the series throughout the day. Watch the stars on the big screen, meet the producers at a mini organic trade show, where you can purchase the local organic ingredients — and experience all the richness and bounty that our province has to offer. The previews are free to the public.

Starting at 9:15 AM through to 4:15 PM, the 30 minute episodes will run as filmed in the following order.
