East York farmers’ market Deeply Rooted aims to showcase a whole world of foods and goods

Camille Mayers’ love of food runs deep. As a child in North York, she toddled around the kitchen as her mother cooked for the family and boiled huge pots of rice and stuffed cow intestines for the Guyanese black-and-white pudding she sold through her“I was fascinated and couldn’t get enough,” says Mayers, founder of the East York farmers’ market Deeply Rooted. “I was eating escargot, mussels, lobster. You name it, we were eating it.

Mayers started working the Toronto farmers’ market circuit about four years ago, selling cornbread waffles topped with buttermilk fried chicken or jerk pork, but something bothered her. “I didn’t see myself when I looked around,” she says. “I didn’t see Black folx: little to no Black growers, little to no Black prepared foods, little to no Black crafts. I also didn’t see culturally diverse foodsSo, she decided to start Deeply Rooted, her own farmer’s market for BIPOC farmers and artisans.

“Having really brings our patrons back to their roots,” Mayers says, “and that has been the point from the beginning.”
