What an odd sentence, but…
My first memory of the .beer logo was at at dinner with the crew from the Restaurants Canada competition. I remember thinking, ‘Oh, I’ve heard good things about them - I want to visit someday’.
Fast-forward a year, and I had made friends with the Onion Honey music crew and saw them, along with many of my now music friends (this is also the start of the Old School Bluegrass story), play at Everdale Farm two years ago today, where I also got to meet Phil and Gail (of GoodLot).
A few months later, I had one of my very first on-stage experiences sitting in on fiddle with Onion Honey at GoodLot.
Next, I was there for an event, where I made countless connections, including more opportunities for on-farm pop-ups such as .
In come more mentors who introduced me to organizations that support local/educational food, a road trip across Canada and some crazy cool experiences.
Suddenly, it was winter 2025-6 and I was offered the opportunity to pop up in the Oast barn at GoodLot. It remains one of the best experiences of my business life, and led to catering for some unforgettable Ontario Agricultural College events.
While I was keeping in contact with the folks from the Culinary Tourism Alliance and my business was taking off, I built a website, and applied for grants to be able to feature food producer features via .project.
All of a sudden, I was offered a spot on the food truck for some summer weekends.
A few years ago, I was featured by , and more and at the time I had just met some folks in the U.S. who were running a pizza farm - something I had never thought of before, but something I realized would combine my passion for food and music.
I can now proudly say that I have found a home with farm-to-crowded-tables in a capacity that works for me at the moment. Although it is undoubtedly a ton of work, there is absolutely no place on earth I would rather be doing it. Come see me again August 28-31, or otherwise on the road playing 🎻 the next few weeks all across Ontario!
