The Ellery is beginning a new chapter! It’s one that grows directly from everything that came before it, while taking my work with food in some new directions. I’m excited to share more very soon!
But for now, today marks three years since we closed the doors to The Ellery Market for the last time.
Those final days were a strange and wonderful mix of farewell party and garage sale, and the love we felt from our community was overwhelming. I’m still enormously proud of what Rauni, our team and I built: a warm little corner of Toronto rooted in good food, local farmers and makers, and the belief that feeding people well matters.
And in a lovely bit of timing, this month also marks ten years since Rauni and I first met. We started working together in a school kitchen, where we set out to rethink what institutional food could be. We cooked from scratch, sourced responsibly, and tried to make food a meaningful part of daily community life. Those ideas came with us into The Ellery Market, and they’ve continued to shape the way I think about food ever since.
So before The Ellery becomes something new, I wanted to take a moment to celebrate what came before it, and everyone who helped make those years so special!! 🥂
