Farmalicious

Guelph is great for many things: Hillside, obviously. The Farmers Market, Speed River, Parks, Festivals, Art, Music, and, perhaps my favourite Guelph highlight: food.

From slow to organic to fresh and creative, our fair city has a lot to offer even the pickiest Epicurean, and so it excited me ever so much when I caught wind of a farmer's celebration in food taking place over the course of the next couple of months.

It's called Farmalicious, and it involves the talents of chef and farmer alike, bonding over the hot flames of a kitchen grill within the great establishments in and around the city. From Rowe Family Farms, all the way to Mill Street Brewery, the great culinary and agricultural minds are teaming up to not only serve our taste buds a tall order of sinfully satiating dishes, but also educate us on the true glories of local eating.

I feel that currently this event is not being advertised or talked about in the spotlight as it should, and so I am going to do my part in spreading the word around to all who will more than likely enjoy and appreciate the wonders of fresh meat and proper tasting vegetables. For a full event detail you can visit the Guelph Wellington Local Food website, check out ingredient lists, menu and make reservations online through http://www.tastereal.ca/, or refer to the schedule below for all the supporting restaurants, chefs, farmers and dates.

The drool is already rolling down my chin as the mouth waters for each day's fare. Hope to see you all out there and catch some of reviews along the way!

Cheers
-Phil
