Hope you had a fabulous holiday!
At UeaT, we have decided to kick off 2010 on a sustainable note. We are bringing back our Weekly Local Farmer’s Market. Starting tomorrow (January 6, 2010), you can drop by University College from 2:30pm to 5:30pm to indulge in fresh produce, baked goods and cheeses from vendors that continue to bring delights to U of T. You will also find two new vendors:
The Cutting Veg and ChocoSol. Yes, we now have a chocolatier at U of T!!
We are also bringing the U-ComposT campaign to Sid’s Cafe, Robarts Cafeteria and MSB Cafeteria. Keep an eye out for our Green Team, a team of enthusiastic students who are working hard to spread awareness about front-of-house composting on campus. Not sure what the Green Team is? Check back in 24 hours for a video of the Green Team in action!

Dear UeaTers,
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a week long celebration of…FOOD?
That’s exactly what Hart House is planning from October 16 to October 23, 2009: World Food Week on campus!
The wonderful people at Hart House explain that “food is an integral part of our society. It not only provides nourishment, but gives us an opportunity to share with our community; it allows us to preserve tradition and culture; it connects us to the land. Food should be about simple principles, yet in our society we’ve allowed it to become a commodity. We demand year-round access to the cheapest food possible, gorging ourselves to malnourishment, while millions go hungry and suffer famine on a daily basis. In order to ensure access to safe and healthy food, and for the future of our society, we need to understand our food systems and reconnect and support the individuals that create them”.
So, Hart House has arranged workshops, lectures, food tastings and discussions on food and community. For a list of the events and schedules click here.

Yes, U of T has its very own Farmer’s Market! We received positive feedback about the Farmer’s Market last year, and are excited to introduce four new farmers for the 2009-2010 Farmer’s Market.
Did we mention that some of the participating farms are Local Food Plus (LFP) certified? That means that all the food you buy is produced locally in a sustainable environment; and that means that you are helping to save the planet while eating healthy…and that, dear UeaTers, is a good reason to come out to the Farmer’s Market on Wednesday afternoons and indulge in fresh fruit, veggies, cheeses, soups and breads. Yum!

Okay, great – when and where? Your post just says “Wednesday afternoons” but no hour or location. Is this held outside SAC? Don’t assume we all came last year and will know this – you want to attract new faces.
Good write-up on UeaT in the Newspaper (Sept.24)
The Farmer’s Market takes place every Wednesday from 2:30pm to 5:30pm at University College. Currently, it is outside in the Sir Daniel Wilson Quad (slightly behind UC). Due to colder, wetter weather, we will be moving it indoors soon…under the rotunda at UC.
