Planting the Seeds...
After cooking professionally for 19+ years and gardening full time for the past 3 of those, it's time to marry everything together and create a place where the journey from seed to table can be measured in footsteps.
I will be opening a new restaurant featuring a wood-burning oven and wood-fired pizzas with an emphasis on local food - specifically with as much grown in my gardens as possible. Name and location to be announced. While many of the details have yet to be confirmed, there a few things that are set: 1. The pizzeria will be located in the city of St. Thomas, Ontario. Sit-down, full service. 2. Wood-fired Neo Neopolitan-style pizza - thin crust (organic sourdough), seasonal, flavourful toppings baked in about 90 seconds. 3. Focus on growing as much food for the pizzeria from the gardens, located on another site. I will gladly support other local farmers (because they are producing great food, too!). |
Update Mar. 1, 2018 There are no scheduled pizza or Bake Days scheduled at this time. Follow along on Instagram (@elgin_harvest) or Facebook (@Elgin Harvest) to stay in the loop. 2018 will bring another season of the pop-up pizzeria, using the mobile wood-fired oven. Please contact us to have Elgin Harvest at your event. More details can be found on the Pop-Up Pizza page. |
