Welcome to STOP #1 on the Feet on Farms Tour!
We’re kicking things off in the heart of Toronto with a special tour and workshop hosted by the Organic Council of Ontario (OCO) and The Stop Community Food Centre. Join us for an inspiring look at local food, urban farming, and community connections.
This half-day experience offers a unique opportunity to explore what organic and sustainable food systems look like in the city, and to connect with the people growing change—literally—from the ground up.
Event Highlights:
-
Green Barn Tour (12:30–1:00 PM)
A guided walk through The Stop’s urban agriculture hub with Adwoa, showcasing native and pollinator plants, cultural crops, and creative city growing practices. -
Travel + Break (1:00–2:30 PM)

Composting Workshop at Earlscourt Garden (2:30–4:30 PM)
