Our JUNO-Nominated Guest
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Terra Lightfoot loves touring and performing live. She has brought her passion, talent and energy to venues around the world, often alongside big names like Emmylou Harris, Gordon Lightfoot and Ron Sexsmith. Her sophomore album, Every Time My Mind Runs Wild, has been making waves since its 2015 release. Don’t take your eyes off this Ontario rocker: She’s on her way to superstardom!
The Sound of Windsor
With a variety of legendary live music venues big and small, plus the University of Windsor’s School of Music, Windsor’s local music scene is thriving, to say the least!
As the evening went on, local performer Brendan Schott Friel took to the Homegrown stage and delighted guests with a set of classic Canadian favourites.
The clincher? JUNO-nominated rocker Terra Lightfoot joined him on stage for a truly unforgettable Canadian musical experience that reflected the heart and soul of Windsor.
Canadian Agriculture in Windsor
Like many major Canadian cities, Windsor’s history is deeply rooted in its agriculture.
Nearly 50 years before the British established the town of Sandwich (it would be renamed East Windsor in 1929), Windsor was the site of a French agricultural settlement. The city’s current street system is a result of agricultural land division, where farms were long, narrow and positioned to face the river. To this day, many north-south streets bear the name of families that farmed that land at one time.
Farming continues to thrive in the area and Hylander Farms is a shining example. You’ve probably had the opportunity to enjoy the farm’s corn-finished Angus beef as well as its delicious veal. It’s a fact: Homegrown flavours always taste better.
Fresh Windsor Flavour
Metro prides itself on supporting local growers from across Ontario while delivering the highest-quality produce directly to consumers.
In fact, many of the products you’ll find on the shelves at your Metro grocery store are sourced from local producers in Windsor.
It doesn’t get much fresher than that!
The Sound of Windsor
With a variety of legendary live music venues big and small, as well as the University of Windsor’s School of Music, Windsor’s local music scene is thriving. To honour the city’s commitment to its local roots, Metro is working with Coalition Music’s Incubator Project to select local incubator artists such as Brendan Schott Friel, who will take the stage to perform a set of classic Canadian covers as the evening goes on. And—surprise!—a CCMA-nominated artist will join him on stage for a truly unforgettable Canadian musical experience.
Celebrity Chef Mike Ward
Metro is thrilled to present Mike Ward as culinary curator of the Homegrown Tour. Not only has he been cooking professionally since he was 17 years old but he is also an award-winning television director, producer, and media personality.
You may recognize him from prestigious culinary events including the Visa Dining series and Taste of Toronto and now, he’s lending his talent to create Canadian-inspired menus for every stop on the Homegrown Tour. Don’t miss your chance to taste his one of a kind creations!
Look out, Windsor! The Metro Homegrown Food & Music Tour is rolling into town and this time, we’re celebrating Canada’s agriculture and local farmers. August 11th will be an unforgettable night of farm-to-table bites and local music that you won’t want to miss and I can’t wait to experience it all with you!

In a small bowl add cornmeal, smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon of salt and a little cracked pepper.
Pat salmon filets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then add to cornmeal mixture, coat evenly on all sides.

Easy Decor Inspiration
Three zero-fuss ideas to make your table picture-perfect.
Farm-to-table casual
Evoke the laid-back vibe of an al fresco barnyard dinner by adorning your table with elements borrowed from a bucolic setting, including wheat bouquets tied with burlap and twine, native varieties of white blooms and casual textiles in a neutral palette.
Low-key elegance
Because burlap tablecloths and upcycled can vases can read a little too rural, you’ll want to up the chic factor with a few elevated details. Our favourite idea for instant chic? Dress up your table with as many white pillar candles as you can get your hands on. Vary the sizes but house them in matching clear glass hurricane lamps for a uniform, sophisticated look. Simply stunning!
Parting gift
Don’t let your guests leave empty handed! For a gourmet treat that nods to Ontario’s glorious cornfields, prepare popping kernels in cute takeaway bags tied with twine and a sprig of baby’s breath. Display them in a wooden crate so friends can grab one on their way out… and think of your Homegrown feast on their next movie night.
