Participate in the Upcoming PEI Flavours Culinary Trail

The PEI Culinary Alliance is preparing the next version of the PEI Flavours Culinary Trail and would like to invite farmers, fishers, markets, restaurants, events and experiences to take part in it. The Culinary Trail was extremely successful in the past two years with many Islanders and visitors finding it an invaluable resource.

“We like being on the Culinary Trail as we have made a commitment for many years to purchase local products and like being recognized as a business that provides PEI products,” said Carl Nicholson, President of New Glasgow Lobster Suppers.

The trail creates one culinary resource (supported by a website and a mobile application) that links agriculture, fisheries, tourism and the local food community. The Culinary Trail defines a route of unique and memorable eating, drinking and educational experiences and offers insight into our Island way of life.

“The culinary trail gives Islanders and visitors a taste of authentic PEI food experiences,” said chair of the PEI Culinary Alliance, Chef Jeff McCourt. “The trail proves why PEI deserves to be recognized as a culinary destination.”

This version will be a two year print of the Culinary Trail. Web renewals will be required in 2013 (at a reduced rate).

If you would like to meet to discuss this exciting culinary project or would like copies of the criteria sent to you, please contact the project manager, Jan Holmes, at 902-368-6208 or email at jvholmes@gov.pe.ca. .
