Fraser Richmond Soil & Fibre Ltd. The City is the Classroom in Vancouver, BC. Organic Cuba Tours. Canadian participants on these tours have a unique opportunity to hear the stories of visionary Cuban farmers and to enter into intimate dialogue with them.

Unlike many group travel arrangements, these tours undertake an “experiential education” methodology whereby participants are invited into a process of discovery and integration of all that they encounter. Not only is there ample opportunity for dialogue and reflection with our Cuban friends and colleagues, but the tour participants themselves form a learning community which further enriches their experience.

Some eight years ago, a pair of Vancouver writers carried out a wildly popular lifestyle experiment known as the 100 Mile Diet, a book that added to modern literary conversations about food, in the vein of Marion Nestle and Michael Pollan.
