K2 Milling Tour!!

Have you ever wondered how your pasta is made or where the flour comes from to make your favourite pastries and bread? Or what the life of a miller is like? If so, this event is just for you! Join us for a tour of K2 Milling, one of Canada's first certified organic flour mills. Mark Hayhoe, the owner and a third generation Ontario miller has an array of knowledge about local grains (barley, rye, buckwheat, different kinds of wheat and more), and he'll lead us on a tour through his unique mill to tell the story of how grains are milled and turned into flours before they are sent off to be processed into so many products we all consider staples. K2 Milling is focused on ensuring that Ontario's local grain market flourishes -- it is surely not your run-of-the-mill enterprise. This informative, fun afternoon is meant for anyone interested in learning more about the food they eat, about our local food system and for (aspiring) home bakers/ foodies who'd like to discover how flours are made. All ages. We will also be serving a light meal consisting of heritage grain organic bread made from K2 Milling flour.

Date: Saturday September 17th from 2 - 4pm.

Note: K2 Milling is about an hour outside of Toronto. We are coordinating carpooling options for those who need it. If you'd like to be involved (if you have a spot or need a ride, email edior@slowfood.to).
