GUO brings organic gardening to schoolyards and students to organic farms. SOG brings joy to seniors and to their families. “Organic farming is a labour of love. Having the opportunity to see Ottawa’s most talented chefs come together and create unforgettable dishes using ingredients we’ve grown is so rewarding. It’s an honour to participate in an event that celebrates our region, our food and our culinary talents.” Stuart Collins, Bryson Farms.
