Mattachioni had been the pizzaiolo at Terroni and decided to open his own small bakery and pizzeria on Dupont in 2015, later expanding with the help of his family and friends to Gerrard St East in January 2021.

At Mattachioni, they bake their own loaves of bread, prepare fresh meals, pick up their own produce, and give away their sourdough starter!

Only wild foods that grow in great abundance and whose survival is not in danger are considered for harvest. Forbes also works to help propagate rare wild food plants by reintroducing them to lands that need remedial attention.
