Holiday Gourmet Food Shopping at the 2^nd Annual Locavore Artisan Food Fair

OTTAWA ─ The taste buds of Ottawa foodies will be tingling knowing that the second annual Locavore Artisan Food Fair (Ottawa LAFF) will take place on Saturday December 10^th from 10 am to 4 pm at the new Crichton Cultural Community Centre located at 39 Dufferin Road in New Edinburgh.

A gathering of 25 of Ottawa’s celebrated food artisans will be selling their products which include cookies, pies, breads, teas, coffee, jams, chutneys, marinades, olive oils, granola, cheeses, soups, chocolates, ice creams, mustards, take home meals and gluten free baking. These items make wonderful gifts and will also reduce the stress of your holiday cooking and shopping. There will be lots of sampling of the gourmet products and the on-site café will be serving delicious soups all day long.

Admission to the fair is free and this year there will be a silent auction at the Ottawa LAFF with products donated by the vendors. The proceeds will go to the School Breakfast Program which feeds 11,000 children in Ottawa every day. “We wanted to support a charity that was food related and the School Breakfast Program is a perfect match for us. They are promoting healthy eating and making sure kids have energy to start their school day,” said Michael Sunderland, co-founder of the Ottawa LAFF and Michaelsdolce’s artisan jam maker.

Be sure to mark December 10^th on your calendar so you do not miss this amazing showcase of local artisan food products that will make your holiday season gastronomically enjoyable for you, your family and friends.
