The Vancouver Food History Project is the delicious story of 125 years of food and agriculture in the city of Vancouver. From the coastal rainforest that nourished the Musqueam nation to the first European settlement, the McLeery Farm in on the Fraser River - and from Avalon’s dairy ranch to Overwaitea’s “over weight” tea all the way through the years to the 100 Mile Diet. Historic and present day images will leave you hungry for more of Vancouver’s food and agriculture.

With support from the City of Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary Grants Program and the participation of the Government of Canada.
