A full and happy crowd.

On Sunday afternoon, I joined a happy crowd of people at the Picnic at the Brick Works at Toronto's historical Don Valley Brick Works. Hosted by Evergreen and Toronto Slow Food, the event was overflowing with many-a-talented chef creating delectable dishes which showcased local bounty. I think I must have sampled everything there (including plenty of local wines and beers), which had me heading home very satiated and very happy.

I highly recommend putting this event on your to-do list for 2010.

Just some of the tasty snacks at this year's Picnic at the Brick Works!

Celebrate local harvest at Evergreen's Picnic at the Brick Works

Like me, many Torontonians are sitting on the edge of their seats, eager to taste what the third annual Picnic at the Brick Works will bring. Locavores and foodies will once again head down to Toronto's beautiful historic Evergreen Brick Works this coming Sunday to sample delicious local bounty.

This year's theme is Saving Diversity, and top chefs from all over the city will use local farmers' harvests to create tasty dishes to represent the many ethnic groups that make up Toronto.

And how will we wash all this delicious food down? I hear that many local wineries will be on site to showcase their great products too.

You can buy tickets to Picnic at the Brick Works from Evergreen at a cost of $110 per person (food and drink included, of course). Proceeds from ticket sales go to Evergreen and Slow Food Toronto.

If you're in or around Toronto, do you plan to attend to celebrate the sustainable food movement? If not, how does your community celebrate their local harvest?
