The farm comes to the Junction this Saturday for the 1st Annual Junction Farm Fest, where city meets farm.
Junction Farm Fest is a children’s educational event that focuses on local, sustainable agricultural production. It will be an opportunity to meet and interact with local Ontario farmers and their animals. There will also be hands-on activities, demonstrations, food samples and more.
The event will be held at two locations. In order to introduce people to ethical livestock practices, sustainably raised farm animals will be located at Toronto Police Service, 11 Division, 209 Mavety, including a cow/calf, sheep, lambs, goats and Hands-on activities will be located at the Junction Train Platform at 2954 Dundas Street West, and will include pollination, bee keeping (sponsored by Food Share), vermiculture, and urban gardening (sponsored by The Stop).
The main sponsors are Local Food Plus, an organization committed to creating sustainable food systems; Junction Fromagerie; Delight Chocolate; The Beet; the Sweet Potato; and the Junction Residents Association.

From the Farm Fest committee: It looks like we will have about 100 cubic feet of poop-y woodshavings at the end of our event — GREAT FOR COMPOST! FREE for the taking! Ready for pickup on Saturday, July 23, 5-6 pm at the Police Station grounds at 209 Mavety St. (just north of Annette). We'll have garbage bags, shovels, etc. on hand to load it up.

We will also have about 20 bales of straw -- GREAT FOR MULCHING — which we would be happy to sell at $5.00 each.

From BlogTO:

Pylsur (Icelandic hotdogs) in Toronto for one night only!
Mjölk Pylsur

Mjölk is recreating Reykjavik's "Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur" in front of their shop. Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur means "The best hotdog in town" and after 60 years in business they have become arguably the best hot dog stand in the world.

Mjölk will be cooking the hot dogs just like at Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, steam cooking them in beer, and importing all of the authentic toppings including a special Icelandic mustard, remoulade mayonnaise, ketchup and frizzled onions directly from Iceland.

When you come by make sure you ask for one with the works or "eina með öllu."

Hot dogs will be served from 7 p.m. until they are all gone! Make sure you stop by early to get a taste of Iceland.
