Conscious Food Festival in Toronto, September 2009

I'm intrigued by news of the inaugural Conscious Food Festival, happening at Fort York from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on both days of the weekend of September 26 and 27. I don't know much about the outfit, but the nine-person organizing committee includes Jeff Crump, executive chef at Ancaster Old Mill; Ryan Rivard of The Bison in Banff, and Brendan Johnson of Everdale.

I believe they're still looking for vendors (whose wares must originate within 100 miles of Toronto unless special considerations apply). They have a Conscious Food Festival blog, but there's not much there yet. I look forward to finding out more about it.
