not far from the tree

The Gladstone’s Harvest Wednesdays invited us to host a table at another one of their tasting events. This is always a great chance to meet great people and taste great food.

We shared a table with Ben of Monforte Dairy, who served up his classic old cheddar with our fresh pears and apples. We couldn’t have planned a better pairing. One table over was Green Thumbs Growing Kids, a really inspiring group of children’s garden and food educators, whose work is mutually supportive of the High Park Children’s Garden where I got my start in urban agriculture. Laura Berman of Green Fuse Photos was nearby, with some photos from the time she visited our Spadina Saturdays program. We also visited with friends from Foodshare, Stoddart Family Farm, and 100 km Foods (who we will always tease about traveling 99km farther than we do!). A friendly event, for sure.
