2nd Annual Sustainability Fair Success

This past Saturday, September 26, Evergreen Brick Works was the place to be as our bustling Saturday Farmers’ Market turned into a colourful, environmental carnival–complete with a stilt-walking scarecrow!

Over 1,000 locavores came down to the site to have fun with Toronto’s leading conservation organizations. Visitors bobbed for organic apples, chalked out their dream city, played Sustainability Scrabble or Environmental Plinko, made beeswax candles, clay-baked veggies, tuned up and decorated bikes and learned how to cut down on resource consumption (and bills)!

Folks from Blue Haven Farm brought very fluffy chickens and the Tamworth pigs: one of the oldest and most threatened breeds.

And just like last year, bike-powered band, Mr. Something Something, played funky Afrobeats with help from their cyclist fans!

Only five Farmers’ Markets (Saturdays, 8am–1pm) left this season. Come learn, eat and play with us at Evergreen Brick Works!
