"Our mission at Food Culture Place is to honor the rich tapestry of people and cultures while maintaining a deep respect for the land that sustains us. We strive to craft experiences that not only nourish the body but also feed the soul. Rooted in a profound reverence for culture, people, and the land, we aim to build bridges and cultivate community.”
What is a Cultural Food Residency?
Your Food Culture Place Residency is an opportunity to experience culture through all of your senses. The idea of culture is intangible but when you dive in, taste and smell our traditional food you get a glimpse at how we embrace and respect our natural environment and what it offers up to sustain us.
Newfoundland and Labrador food culture is born of necessity and ingenuity, it’s centuries old. It’s built upon the time shared in gathering and preparing nature’s bounty and the stories told when we pass along recipes and methods. It’s all wrapped in a proud and grounded aural history.
We have brought together skilled people dedicated to this way of life; those who are bound to the land and what it offers, those who treasure the traditions while making them relevant today, those who respectfully harvest to sustain for the future. We will introduce you to these people and their craft of food.
This is a Residency Program created to welcome you into the exploration and celebration of food, craft, and skills of this place.
