On March 2nd, we were busy exchanging seeds and seeds of knowledge at Evergreen Brick Works Seedy Saturday! The event was buzzing with activity as attendees enjoyed workshops, seed exchanges, expert talks, and delicious food. Our very own Chef Bashir Munye served up samples of BCCF’s Zucchini Stem Relish and our signature “Harvest Heat” Hot Sauce. The kids were also out in full force on Saturday, enjoying activities like our Garden Necklace activity with Ashley Luey. The smiles and good vibes were everywhere! (A favourite kids’ activity!)
Thank you to all who stopped by our booth to chat, exchange seeds, or shared heart-felt support to the team. It was an exciting day of engagement and lively conversation as we championed awareness for food justice in the Black Creek Community.
This product is available exclusively in our Holiday Box.
Zucchini stem relish, 500mL
Our love of botany and desire to use every single part of the plant so nothing is wasted led us to develop this crunchy and delicious relish made with the stems of the zucchini plant.
Delicious in sandwiches, as a salad topping, or served beside cured meats to provide crunch and acidity. The brining liquid is great for poaching eggs and fish, or used as a marinade to tenderize meats.
Ingredients: zucchini stems,* water, apple cider vinegar, cane sugar, salt, garlic flowers,* holy basil seeds,* coriander seeds
Keep refrigerated once opened. It can last for over 3 months refrigerated.
*Grown at Black Creek Community Farm
