Cabbagetown is located in downtown Toronto, bounded by Wellesley, Parliament, and Gerrard streets and the Don Valley Expressway. In fact it should be correctly called Dona Vale but the name 'Cabbagetown' somehow stuck from the habit of its first residents growing cabbages on their front lawns. It is a heritage neighbourhood where many famous Canadians in the arts live.It remains as a popular tourist attraction, Victorian style homes lining the streets.
The well-known Cabbagetown Art & Crafts Sale is held in Riverdale Park, right beside Riverdale Farm in the centre of Cabbagetown. The farm consists of a small family farm with a farmhouse, barn, and a variety of heritage breed farm animals. Each year over 150 artists and craftspeople exhibit in the juried high quality arts and crafts sale. And Edna's Pickles has been one of them for the last 6 years.
