On Sunday, May 1st, from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. the Artscape Wychwood Barns will be going “Gluten Free!” The brainchild of RonniLyn Pustil, the idea is to gather all of Toronto’s best purveyors, bakers, restaurateurs and suppliers of gluten-free goods to one spot, for, as she calls it, “a day of delicious one-stop shopping”

  Gluten Free Garage is Toronto’s original pop-up gluten-free marketplace…
like a farmers’ market with a gluten-free twist!”

Since her daughter Lily was diagnosed with celiac disease six years ago, Pustil has made her home a gluten-free zone, and has since scoured the city for the best gluten-free produce available.

Instead of “cherry picking” thither and yon, wouldn’t it be great to find the best, healthiest and most delicious items under one roof? That’s what the Gluten Free Garage is all about.

The first GFG was held in 2012, and saw over 1,500 guests sampling and purchasing gluten-free products from upwards of fifty, mostly local vendors.

Since then, there have been four iterations of this hugely popular event, and this year’s promises to be the biggest and best yet, with over seventy vendors on hand to wow you and a stellar line-up of guest speakers to share ideas, lifestyle tips and the latest news and trends.

Admission to the event is $10 for adults, with free admission for kids under 12. Early bird bonus! The first 1000 guests get a GFG tote bag!
