The theme for the 2012 Organic Okanagan Festival is “Love the Apple – NO GMO”. A small BC company called Okanagan Specialty Fruits has submitted a request to Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for approval of a genetically modified (GM) “non-browning” apple. Contamination from GM apples threatens the future of our apples, and the farmers who grow them. The OOF vision of celebrating organic apples includes live organic apple juicing with the Mobile Juice Factory and Old Meadows Farm, Summerhill's Chef Jesse inspired apple creations, an apple panel, apple art and much more! 2012 OOF Entertainment - IN THE MUSIC TENT 12:00 PM – Kiki the Eco Elf 2:00 PM - Raging Grannies 2:45 PM - Ari Neufeld 4:00 PM – Urban Birds 2012 OOF Entertainment - THE PYRAMID PRESENTATION 1:00 PM - COABC presents: The Apple Panel – NO GMO!
