Terra Madre Day at Toronto Harbourfront

There were about 40 chefs and farmers and value-add vendors showing off their Ontario sourced food products for the one day event. I gave away samples of roast garlic puree on toasted bread.  They loved it.
Good timing with the TTC street car behind me.

Farmers' Markets - Vendor Marketing Tips

Dave Alexander, at Everdale's Farmers Growing Farmers course invited me to give a talk to this years Farmers Growing Farmers class on marketing tips for farmers' market vendors. It was a lot of fun, and a chance for me to distill my experience in farmers' markets, both as a vendor and as a manager.

Garlic is planted!!

My favorite machine at Whole Circle: the Farm all.
25,000 garlic cloves planted. Three rows to a bed. Five beds each 900 feet long. 45 different strains of garlic.
Fueld over the long days by steak, beans, fried eggs & pancakes cooked in a coleman burner at the side of rhe field, we got it done
