It's Western Australian Biodynamic Festival at High Vale, Pickering Brook, this Sunday (22 Nov).

The festival runs from 10am to 4pm at High Vale Orchard, 35 Merivale Road. Our friends at Slow Food will be there making and selling wood-fired pizza and Pickering Brook's own Champion roasted-mushrooms to raise funds for next year's Western Australian Terra Madre delegation and thier school kitchen garden project, ‘Food with latitude’, launched by Carlo Petrini in Perth last month [see SPICE 17].

There will be orchard tours, tree-pruning demonstrations, talks at 11:15am and 2:15pm by Williams farmer and 2006 Terra Madre delegate William Newton-Wordsworth on 'social responsibility and agriculture: contradiction or necessity?', and cooking demonstrations by chef Nico Moretti. [see 15]

And, of course plenty of things for the kids and lots of produce.
