ABOUT

Join Meewasin for a truly unique experience on the prairie. You’ll never feel more connected to the land, to your food, and to one another! Meewasin’s Grazing Dinners begin with a guided hike through native prairie at Beaver Creek Conservation Area, led by Meewasin’s Renny Grilz. You’ll be immersed in the sights, smells, and sounds of the landscape and learn why our Saskatchewan prairie is so important. After the hike, a three-course dinner prepared by the team at Odla awaits, served outdoors overlooking beautiful Beaver Creek. True to Odla’s farm-direct approach, the ingredients featured on your plate will be locally sourced and seasonally inspired. As you enjoy dessert, you’ll have a front-row seat for an interactive sheep and stock dog demonstration with special guest, Shepherd Jared Epp, showcasing how Meewasin uses grazing to support our prairie ecosystems. All proceeds from this experience support Meewasin’s conservation and education programs, making this a truly sustainable experience in one of the Meewasin Valley’s most popular locations.
