We teamed up with edible Toronto for our September issue to bring you all things PEC.
No matter where you're coming from, it's a short drive to experience all that "the county" has to offer.
Here is what's in this issue:
- pasta at Onesta
- farming crops with cultural weight at Paper Kite Farm
- vineyard on the drumlin: Stoss Lee Wines & Stock+Row
- heirloom tomatoes from Vicki's Veggies Farm
- Coffee Right YOW is a free, specialty coffee festival is coming to the Parkdale Public Market on September 12. The Artery Community Roasters
- "The Glue of Picton": Picton’s Theia is where locals eat, work and sell their goods, embracing the true spirit of farm to table, even in a tough year for produce.
- "Beyond the Vines": discover all things brewed in Prince Edward County, from a local coffee shop to hilltop microbreweries. Beacon Bike + Brew, Matron Fine B**r, Gillinghambrewing, Parsons Brewing Co, Lake on the Mountain Brewing Company & Slake Brewing
- "Labrusca Lore": A few Ontario growers and wineries are embracing Labrusca grapes. After the Ontario government dropped its 71.5 per cent tax, they’re hoping other winemakers and vineyards ride the wave with them.
- "From Soil to Service": at Stella's Eatery, local sourcing and close relationships help sustain Prince Edward County’s food community — while bringing people together at the table.
- "Cracking the Peppercorn": from infused honey and barbecue sauce to beurre blanc and fruit-forward desserts, these recipes
prove that pepper is more than salt’s sidekick.
- "Secret Sauce": Grant van Gameren’s first restaurant in Prince Edward County is stocked by his own farm and brimming with
classic Italian steakhouse food and talent.
