Lori
McCarthy identifies fiercely as a Newfoundlander, which means more than just
geographical location of birth to her. Her passion for the land is matched only
by her passion for food culture. The ethics of conservation and sustainability
inform her every move, and she is as serious about protecting Newfoundland
culture, resources and food ways as she is about sharing them through her food
residency program, Food Culture Place. The province's culture is based on
the values of resourcefulness and working with what the land provides. Lori has
made it her life work, becoming a leader and advocate in a “back to the
land" approach where traditional food culture is central. She’s committed
to keeping the wild game and foods of this province on our plates for
generations to come, and passing on the pride she learned at her own mother’s
knee to her own children who will inherit this island’s abundant bounty.
