Join Chef Michael Stadtlander and more than 70 of the best chefs from across Canada for an outdoor, pay-what-you can, public food event in support of the movement to Stop The Mega Quarry.

All funds raised will go to fighting the Mega Quarry application that has been put forward by the Highland Companies to create a limestone quarry over 2,300 acres in size on prime, fertile agricultural land and digging into pristine aquifers.

Each chef will prepare one item, celebrating the local bounty and encouraging Ontarians to stand up and have their voice heard by the government.

Everyone is welcome. Please dress accordingly (wear BOOTS)--this is an outdoor event in a field. We also encourage you to bring your own plates and cutlery to cut down on waste and clean up. Organize a car pool-share a ride.

Honeywood ON, 10 Minutes North of Shelburne on Hwy 124. The 4 Farms That Didn't Sell Out To The Highland Companies (1.5 hours north of Toronto)

Please share widely our goal is to have thousands of people attend.

I was there and let me tell you it was a powerful feeling watching over 25000 people appear like they were on a quest to save our farmlands and protect our water table!
