You’re invited to join us this summer for our Farm to Fork Dinner; a fully immersive moment in our garden.

This workshop is intended to give you a momentary respite from the everyday and to experience how the garden meets our physical, spiritual and mental health needs.

For the first time, we'll transport your palette to Ghana, my birthplace.

Experience new flavours and combinations, all centred around the ingredients we grow on our urban farm and sourced from Ottawa Valley Farms.

The evening will begin with a behind-the-scenes tour of our market gardens. During the tour, we’ll discuss the spiritual connections we’ve fostered in the garden and how they influence the way we grow. We’ll also discuss how we work to maximize flavour and nutrition in our growing practices

Next, we’ll sit down to a 3-course dinner, inspired by traditional Ghanian flavours and what’s in season on the Urban Farm. Each meal highlights freshly harvested ingredients from the farm.

As we enjoy each plate, we’ll discover ways to rethink how we eat by incorporating more plants in our everyday meals and changing our relationship with cooking.

We can’t wait to discover the garden more deeply with you.
