Next Tuesday, April 22nd is Earth Day, and there are a few events happening between now and then that take an environmentally friendly approach to food and drink.

On Saturday, Daily Apple Wellness Services are presenting an Earth Day Farmers Market at 35 Lytton Blvd, a block west of Yonge Street about halfway between Eglinton and Lawrence. The area lacks a regular farmers market, so the organisers hope the one-off will be successful enough to make it a weekly event in the future.

Also on Saturday, Pax & Ange of iYellow Wine Club are hosting a sold out Green Wine Tour to some of the Niagara Region’s most environmentally friendly wineries. And for those who aren’t going on the tour, there’s an opportunity to try the wares of some of the province’s best wineries on Earth Day itself, as the 2nd annual instalment of the Somewhereness tasting event happens next Tuesday at Coupe Space.

The full list of happenings for the next week follows below, and as always, our Events page has more information on these and many other upcoming events in Toronto and area.
