\"\"There has never been anything like it! Over 100 chefs from across Canada will gather on October 16th<\/sup> to cook in the country, all in support of the righteous movement to Stop the Mega Quarry. The event is called Foodstock \u2013 and like Woodstock back in\u2026 well, I forget when exactly\u2026 it will be the sort of gathering that can define a decade and a generation. This is not a weekend, it\u2019s a Sunday afternoon but it will go down in history.<\/p>\n

There will be awesome music \u2013 the great Jim Cuddy will be performing, and so will Ron Sexsmith, Sarah Harmer, Tom Barlow, Cuff The Duke, and Hayden! There will be inspiring speeches \u2013 from Dr. Faisal Moola of the David Suzuki Foundation and from Michael Stadtl\u00e4nder, President of the Chef’s Congress of Canada and the mastermind behind this event.<\/p>\n

There may also be mud \u2013 Foodstock is happening in the fields, just like Woodstock, to remind us of the farmland we will lose if the appalling quarry is allowed to proceed. So guests are encouraged to wear boots and dress appropriately. It would be a great idea to bring your own plates and cutlery too, to cut down on waste and clean-up.<\/p>\n

The purpose of all this? To encourage the people of Ontario to stand up for the land that feeds us and to show the government that we mean business.<\/p>\n

The price? Pay what you can. 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.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Above all there will be food! Here is the unbelievable line-up of chefs who will be present \u2013 and the list will no doubt have grown larger by October 16th<\/sup>! Each chef will be preparing a dish that celebrates the local bounty.<\/p>\n
