The gård Catering

Overview

After 20 years collective experience in the Food and Beverage industry, Treena and Kevin decided to start The gård, an event and catering business. The inception was inspired from Treena’s inheritance of her Danish Grandfather’s Farm in Northern Ontario. Her Great Grandfather Alfred Anderson, settled the land and developed the farm to produce potatoes, strawberries, rhubarb and a number of other products. Going back to her roots she was inspired to bring farm to table catering.
