Farm Fun
Chef Jamie Kennedy describes his plans.
Amber has been co-hosting Fulvio, an organic grower from Michoacán and Amato, a restaurant owner from Oaxaca. They're here as part of a knowledge exchange to see what's happening with sustainable agriculture in Ontario. I've been the driver.
This afternoon we visited with Jamie Kennedy and heard about how he's exploring local agriculture.
 
Fulvio describes the garlic-like qualities of a native plant species previously referred to as a "weed" as Amber & Amato look on.
Beer ... in a field.
Afterwards, we drove over to meet this vegetable grower who doesn't use chemicals or pesticides. You can find him at the farmer's market in the Distillery in the summer. He grows a wide variety of veggies and harvests wild fruit.
We rode around in the back of a pick-up at the ranch.
Back on Monday, we visited the YU Ranch where Bryan Gilvesy raises grass-fed Texas Longhorn Cattle using a variety of sustainable practices.
Do you like my ... long horns?
I'm sure you will hear more about it from Amber ... after all, I'm just the driver!
