About Rita

Rita was born and raised in Musqueam. Her late father, Joe Becker, a former Musqueam Chief, was a carver and fisherman. Following his passing, Rita turned to cedar weaving as part of her cultural teachings and healing journey. Encouraged by her mentor, Haida weaver Todd Devries, she now teaches full-time alongside her daughter Zoe, sharing cedar weaving, wool weaving, and natural dyeing.

This workshop is open to all. $15 covers your cedar kit, with the remainder of your ticket supporting the artist’s fees and the Sharing Farm’s ongoing projects in partnership with Musqueam, including bi-weekly produce for Musqueam’s free farmers market and hosting of daycare, day camp, and Elder groups for land-based activities.

Indigenous participants are invited to join free of charge; reach out to jenna@sharingfarm.ca to secure your spot.

We’re trying something new at the Farm and you’re invited!

Thanks to support from the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, we’re hosting a series of three free dinners in our Healing Garden. The evening will include appies and dinner cooked with vegetables from the Farm as well as a guided “café-style” conversation about the intersection of food security, sustainable agriculture, and community-driven solutions.

We’re so excited to have the opportunity to hold space for folks to come together from across all parts of our work to connect and build our collective wisdom and we hope you'll join us!

The spots are filling up quickly, so if you're interested, don't wait to claim your spot! Sign up here: https://form-can.keela.co/pics-event-series

ABOUT DEVON AND LUCAS

Chefs Lucas Johnston and Devon Latté met at the Acorn restaurant in 2018, instantly diving in to and falling in love with the local concept. They ran the restaurant together for five years and along with the best staff in Vancouver, collected a Michelin recommendation along with countless other accolades. They’ve been cooking together ever since and don’t plan on stopping!

Their food is ingredient-forward, relying on strict hyper-locality and seasonal organic vegetables to drive their menus along with sustainably sourced seafood. You’ll also find many wild Pacific Northwest ingredients foraged and preserved by the two chefs throughout the year. Expect unique, punchy and fun flavours! The duo opened Nero Tondo Restaurant in February 2025, displaying an elevated yet fun approach on local cuisine.
