WHAT’S NEW AND EXCITING!
RIVERSYDE 83
RIVERSYDE 83 recently celebrated it’s long awaited grand opening! The many service clubs and foundations, associations and agencies, churches, businesses, personal private donors and our construction volunteer team were recognized and appreciated. The ribbon cutting ceremony was held indoors due to inclement weather, but that didn’t detract from the excitement! Our chef, staff and volunteers worked hard to prepare and serve festive food platters and thousands of bite-sized treats and sips to the many neighbours and friends who came out to celebrate with us. Local bands entertained and the place was abuzz with joy and gratitude.
Our cafe eatery is open weekdays from 8am to 3pm, with extended hours on Friday evenings to 9pm. The breakfast, lunch and cafe menus are filled with choice items, and our guests come back often to taste everything we offer. Some highlights: our own Riversyde 83 blend of coffee, our volunteer bakers sure know how to fill a rack with goodness, our soups-du-jour, our beautiful space and decor, and more…
Hope to see you there very soon!
THE GATHERING FOOD GARDENS
Another garden season is mostly behind us, and the 27 raised garden beds scattered about Simcoe produced another bumper crop of 22 garden vegetables. Many thanks to our site hosts and suppliers, who have made it all possible. 87, 519 veggie servings since our community gardens began.
