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 in 2017 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 Neopolitan-style pizza - thin crust, 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!).

4. Help is needed in all departments for both senior and support positions.

Update June 19, 2017

Knowing the brick and mortar restaurant will take time to build, I will be taking the wood-fired oven on the road to serve pizzas on site.

From late April until Mid-Oct, I will be baking pizza's every Friday night and Saturday at Railway City Brewery in St. Thomas.

I'm actively hiring help in the gardens and for the pop-up pizzeria. Send cover letter and resume to Cindy@ElginHarvest.ca .
