A guest post by Christina Palassio, Communications Coordinator at the Stop  Community Food Centre.

More than 100 peo­ple braved blus­tery winds on Wednesday night to attend The Stop Community Food Centre’s 2011 Annual General Meeting. Held at our 1884 Davenport Rd. loca­tion, the evening fea­tured hearty plates of brisket, creamed kale and roasted Brussels sprouts, Stop slideshows, folk tales by storyteller-in-residence Dan Yashinsky and farmer Margaret Zondo, and a year-in-review round-up by Executive Director Nick Saul.

Double Rainbow Sighting at Fiesta Farms

By jodi on September 7th, 2010 2 Comments »

There have been alot of dou­ble rain­bow sight­ings lately. This par­tic­u­lar full-on dou­ble rain­bow sight­ing hap­pened in the pro­duce aisle at Fiesta Farms where Grow for the Stop veg­eta­bles have finally arrived.

Grow for the Stop veg­gies aren’t just spe­cial because of their incred­i­ble (so intense!) hues and (so bright, so vivid) flavours. When you buy them, ten per­cent of what you pay goes to The Stop to help ensure qual­ity pro­duce is avail­able to those in need in Toronto.

That’s a full-on, all the way, win-win for everyone.

Rainbow car­rots, rain­bow beets, as well as Japanese cucum­bers and Salad turnips from The New Farm’s organic farm, are in the store and ripe for the taking.

If you haven’t seen  the orig­i­nal, wildly viral, Double Rainbow video that inspired our own version, check out the full on video below.
