Community Sponsored Agriculture is an opportunity for consumers to receive seasonal produce direct from the producer each week during farming season.

In most cases, the recipient receives a mystery box of ultra-fresh vegetables in their delivery and from there, the games begin.

On Tuesday, June 23rd, three local farmers, Donna Stokoe and David Catzell from Fraser Common Farm and Ward Teulon from City Farm Boy, delivered two mystery boxes of seasonal vegetables at their peak to Chef Andrea Carlson at Bishop’s. The subsequent event was the second dinner in the Producer’s Dinner Series at the acclaimed restaurant.

On Monday, June 1st, Daniel Wesley, the Canadian singer from White Rock, took over the rooftop of Lululemon to sing his heart out.

The impromptu concert was arranged as a promotion for the upcoming Chip’s Not Dead Yet race which will take place on Saturday, June 20th. Attendees not only got to register for the funnest charity race alive, but they were entertained the whole time while doing it.

For more information about Chip’s Not Dead Yet, stay tuned, or check out the official website, HERE. All proceeds matched by the event will be matched by Chip Wilson and then donated to BC’s Children’s Hospital.

Urban Mixer is stepping in this year and sponsoring the post-race LifeLid Gala on June 27th, 2009, which will occur in lieu of Lululemon’s Flip Flop Soiree.
