Feast of Fields coming to Albion Hills this Sunday

Sample the freshest, most succulent organic creations prepared by some of Toronto's top chefs and restaurants while sipping on organic and local wines and beers at the 17th Annual Feast of Fields, Sept. 17.

The event will be held at Albion Hills Conservation Area, Lakeview Site, from 1-5 p.m. that day.

For 17 years Feast of Fields has been tantalizing tastebuds while bringing together those who grow and prepare our foods with those who simply consume and savour them! The dishes are ingeniously created and prepared to be enjoyed without the use of paper plates and other disposable items. Chefs have creatively served their fare wrapped in crpes and lettuce leaves, nestled in vegetable cups and tomatoes, layered on top of croquettes and cornbread and even offered on cedar planks and pieces of slate.

From the chefs who create amazing dishes over a simple campfire or gas barbecue and the wineries and breweries that continue to innovate with their products, to the dedicated, hardworking organic farmers who work year round to grow the food we eat and the hundreds of volunteers who are committed to the organic movement, generous, enthusiastic and talented people make this event popular.

Greg Herriott from Hempola Valley Farms, along with chef Michael Stadtlander of Eigensinn Farm, will be extracting

biofuels on the premises. Fresh, Ontario grown hempseeds will be fed into the press to produce the freshest cold pressed hempseed oil available, which chef Stadtlander will use as an ingredient in his unique and creative culinary offering for Feast guests.

Come out and meet, talk to and learn from some of Ontario's finest organic educators, including ACE Bakery, Merchants of Green Coffee, Beretta Organic

Farms, Nectar Restaurant, Citizens for Renewable Energy, Slow Food Toronto, Dark City Coffee, Steam Whistle Brewing, Dufferin Grove Farmers Market, The Healthy Butcher, Ecological Farmers Association of

Ontario, Wanda's Pie in the Sky, Four Seasons Hotel, Whole Foods Market, Frogpond Farm Organic Winery and many more.
