Taste of the Valley is an exposition of local food, crafts and products that are produced by local residents. Taste of the Valley events are community events that help introduce both visitors and local residents to the many unique agricultural products available in the region. In 2013, Taste of the Valley will be held in the following communities:
Friday, August 16th - 10:00 am to 5 pm: Barry’s Bay Railway Museum & Farmers Market
Saturday, September 21st - 8 am to 3 pm: Renfrew Armouries and Fairgrounds
Saturday, October 5th - 10 am to 3 pm: Deep River Municipal Hall & Grounds
Saturday, October 19th - 8 am to 3 pm: Cobden Fairgrounds
Taste of the Valley is, first and foremost, a celebration of local foods and products. The Elected Officials of the County of Renfrew are insisting that, where possible, all products be produced within the County of Renfrew. As such, preference will also be given to food vendors to occupy indoor space when available. There are some instances where this is not possible, but the goal of the event is to promote “made in Renfrew County products.” Residents interested in showcasing their products at one of the Taste of the Valley events are invited to submit an application form the Organizing Committee. In addition, any vendor serving food products is required to complete a Special Food Vendor application. Both applications can be downloaded from the applications located at the bottom of this page.
There are some changes to the registration process for the 2013 Taste of the Valley events, most notably that registration will be done through an individual community contact, not through the County of Renfrew as has been done in the past.
