Sustainability at Outdoor Eats
Evergreen is proud to be partnering with three sustainability-driven companies for Outdoor Eats. The wooden huts, where the food purveyors will be stationed, are courtesy of EZ Blocks. The blocks use one hundred percent reusable and recyclable wood from sustainably harvested trees. The decorations for the huts will be done in collaboration with Alicia Thurston from Pop-Up Chapel. Using up-cycled materials, the huts will be colourfully adorned and insta-worthy! All dine-in food at Outdoor Eats will be served on reusable dishware courtesy of Muuse, a reusable dishware company dedicated to ending single-use waste.
Outdoor Eats will take place at Evergreen Brick Works (550 Bayview Ave, Toronto ON) at Tiffany Commons and the Pavilions.
Stay tuned for further food purveyor announcements throughout the series.
