The County Comes To The City

Posted by Greg Clow in events, events upcoming, farm to table on July 20, 2008 at 7:04 pm

Starting this Thursday, July 24th and running through to the autumn, specialty food shop Viva Tastings (409 College Street) will be hosting a weekly farmers' market on their patio in conjunction with Harvestin' The County, the local agricultural initiative of Prince Edward County. Taking place every Thursday afternoon from 4pm to 7pm, the event will be Toronto's only market dedicated exclusively to produce and products from Prince Edward County, including goods from suppliers such as Fosterholm Farms, Hagerman Family Farms, and Vicki's Veggies.

To celebrate the new market, Viva will be hosting a special "pre-dinner tasting" event this Thursday from 5pm to 7pm, featuring bite-sized nibbles made using ingredients from the vendors at the market. Tickets are $12, with wine from Prince Edward County available for an additional cost. Tickets for the tasting can be reserved by calling 416-506-0054.
