Fruity Food Court Experience gourmet dishes crafted by six chefs from some of Toronto’s top restaurants. All dishes incorporate urban fruits harvested within city limits in partnership with Not Far From The Tree. Chef Jed Smith from Momofuku Daish picked pears for a baek kimchi with grass fed beef from Grandview Farms. Chefs Joshna Maharaj and Rossy Earle from Ryerson picked serviceberries to make roast duck, glazed with berry sauce on a corn fritter. Chef Alexandra Feswick from The Drake Hotel picked crabapples to make candied crabapples. Chef Dave Stewart from Peoples Eatery picked grapes to form a Toronto version of the sabich, an Israeli breakfast sandwich. Chef Trish Gill from The Dock Ellis picked apples to craft smoked trout rillette, apple and fennel chutney, caraway rye toast. Farzam Fallah of Richmond Station picked apricots for his delectable ice cream dish.

Not Far From The Tree is Toronto’s very own fruit tree project, inspiring Torontonians to harvest, share, and celebrate the bounty from our urban forest. We pick and share fruit growing from Toronto trees and share it all: 1/3 to the tree owner; 1/3 to the volunteer fruit pickers; and 1/3 to food banks, shelters, and agencies across the city. Find out more at www.notfarfromthetree.org or call 647-774-PICK (7425).
For over a century, Spadina was home to three generations of the Austin family. In 1866, James Austin purchased the 80 acre Baldwin estate. The property extended from Davenport Road to St. Clair and from Walmer Road to Russell Hill Road. The historic house is surrounded by 5.7 acres of lawns, gardens and orchard. Visitors can view the artifacts and furnishings original to the home, placed as they were in the 1920s. Wallpapers and textiles have been carefully reproduced to allow visitors to step back in time, seeing the home as it was between the world wars, a transformative period that dramatically changed Toronto. Spadina Museum: Historic House & Gardens opened in 1984 and is one of 10 historic museums operated by Toronto Culture. Toronto’s Historic Museums engage visitors, inspire passion, challenge ideas and connect the past to the present.
