Rootstock 2017 happened on August 26th at Flint Rock Ranch. In the breathtaking scenery over the prairies of Pincher Creek and the Waterton mountains; guests enjoyed a gorgeous farm-to-table meal, listened to performances by Wintersleep, JP Hoe, the Folk Road Show and Pretty Faces, and supported Food Water Wellness Foundation in developing tools for environmental restoration through healthy food production.
They started with cocktails and a farmers market and met the folks responsible for the delicious food from which dinner was prepared and listened the incredible harmonies of Pretty Faces.
Dinner was an amazing 4-course feast conceived by David Cousineau of the Bison Restaurant and Terrace in Banff. Barb Tomas from Love2Eat orchestrated a delectable farm-fresh salad and dessert was by Hayloft Restaurant (Airdrie) and Annika Lewis will be accompanied by Anne Sellmer’s Cochu Chocolates.
The was tent furnished with a country-chic mix of white tablecloths, mason jars, fresh flowers and candles and served as a backdrop for the glorious feast, all nestled in the native pasture of the Porcupine Hills.
The infectious energy of Juno winners Wintersleep caped off the evening after the stage had been heated up by Folk Road Show and JP Hoe. This dance floor under the stars was most definitely hopping.
Proceeds from this unique fundraiser further the work of Food Water Wellness in advancing the practice of regenerative agriculture that nurtures a robust ecosystem and healthy soil. Food Water Wellness Foundation is working to create an artificial intelligence tool that helps both farmers and researchers understand how soil can potentially be used to reverse climate change, increase biodiversity, mitigate both drought and flood and, most importantly, produce healthy food.
