Come Celebrate Our Producers in the Boundary Country of British Columbia with a Potluck-BBQ Festival & Picnic
Event: Sunday - 5 September 2021
Greenwood, BC
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
"A potluck is a communal gathering where each guest or group contributes a different, often homemade, dish of food to be shared. Other names for a "potluck" include: potluck dinner, shared lunch, spread, faith supper, carry-in dinner, covered-dish-supper, fuddle, Jacob's Join, and fellowship meal."
In Greenwood, BC we call it the BCBBQF&P!!
The Boundary Country is between the fertile Kelowna valley and majestic Kootenay mountains with the best of both worlds and the richness of rural life. Here, you can tour and taste your way through Boundary Country’s farmers’ markets, orchards, dairies, and fairs. Each one is a unique chapter in an enduring story.
The area is fortunate to have a growing number of small producers, crafters, and makers. For example, the cultivation of land surrounding Grand Forks and Rock Creek dates back more than 100 years and continues to this day. Abundant sunshine, coupled with lush farmland, gives a bumper crop of fruit and root vegetables. More recently, the area is also responsible for the above-average quality protein production of beef, pork, poultry, lamb and others.
There are many ways you can experience the flavours of Boundary Country. One of the best ways is to hang out with the "locals". They love to showcase their crops and keenly measure their talent for BBQ, Grilling and Cooking against those of their fellow neighbours.
The Festival & Picnic is the chance to push the boundaries of cooking and feasting in the Boundary. It is a community cooking and eating celebration!
In 2021 the historic city of Greenwood, BC - the Centre of the Boundary - is host to the first-ever Boundary Country BBQ Festival and Picnic. We tried in 2020 but got COVITTED...
All residents, producers, and guests are invited to join in, for one day, once a year, to cook, grill, bbq, and showcase their products while trying to out-do their neighbours. It is the opportunity for the protein producers to serve their steaks, shoulders, chops and growers to showcase their fruits and vegetables.
It is a chance for anyone with any remote outdoor cooking affinity and skill, to join in the fun and compete-cook with their neighbours of the Boundary.
In historic Greenwood’s city centre, you will find Two Cowboys cooking, smoking meat, and serving treats created from local products and food ingredients. The Cowboys are playing with food and catering to the people and events in the Boundary area.
They proudly showcase the excellent produce of the area and invite patrons to feast with them during the Summer months. By hosting the Boundary Country BBQ Festival and Feast, they hope to expand the celebration of food, encourage more people to cook their own food and share in the abundance of the area.
