Hello everyone,
Just a quick reminder that the order form is open until Tuesday at 8pm.
Today is lovely! I'm thankful for the sun and the puddles that the kids have been jumping in today. They think it's warm enough for some ice cream!
Last night's dinner was a real treat! Andrew found tamales in the freezer and we had a lovely and easy Mexican meal. The tamales are so easy to steam in the microwave or can be steamed on the stove also. I'll have to order more as well as cilantro and Creme Fraiche or Crema La Vaquita for the next Mexican night! We have lots of dried beans to make beans and rice (which was part of last night's meal) or refried beans. Mmmm!
We are running out of cheese here, so I took the opportunity to clean out the cheese drawer. My fridge has been neglected since having kids, so a quick wipe or cleaning one drawer is a big accomplishment some days!
A few notes:
We are very excited to offer you Bulk Organic Beef directly from Vibrant Farms (http://www.vibrantfarms.com/). We're trying to make it easy for you to get a great deal on beef!
There are four bulk options available:
Why would you want to buy beef in bulk? Is it really better to buy frozen meat instead of buying fresh? These are questions that I asked Melissa to answer and she has sent these answers and more below:
How Freezer Beef works - choose to go FROZEN
When buying Organic Meat - be sure to know where you stand on vaccinations. The use of vaccinations is not banned in organic standards. Be sure to inquire about how your farmer deals with sickness in their herd. Ask about what preventative measures they are taking - for example if they are using mineral premixes, crop rotating, ensuring reduced mould of hay etc etc (there are different standards about Mineral pre-mixes, and often allow for 5% to be non-organic, so ask where they get their mineral from as well). If a farmer is not operating from a preventative paradigm they will at some point likely be forced to use less favourable practices to care for their animals.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

A few notes:
- Brenda had some garlic available. There will be heads on the spontaneous table too. March will bring fresh green garlic from Paul again
- Next month we will be debuting Gluten Free grains milled locally from Jamestown Mills! http://jamestownmills.com/
- Check out the new flavoured chocolate bars from Anna Tolazzi! I haven't tasted one that wasn't divine.
- All the Goat Cheeses from Gordon's Goat Dairy are so great. Don't forget to get some!
- 'Tis the season for popcorn! It's always a hit around here and you can get some from Ontario Popping corn or from Lester and Irene Brubacher.
- Golden Hearth just increased the maximums on some of the breads that were sold out! More Spelt, Flax and Multigrain now available!
We are very excited to offer you Bulk Organic Beef directly from Vibrant Farms (http://www.vibrantfarms.com/). We're trying to make it easy for you to get a great deal on beef!
There are four bulk options available:
- Variety Starter Box - Approx. $50 - Try a variety (no custom orders, about 1-2 of each cut, half a grocery bag full)
- Intro Package - Approx. $150.00 ( no custom orders, several of each cut, 1 cubic ft of freezer space)
- Quarter Steer - Approx. $600 (limited custom orders , MANY of each cut, 4 cubic ft of freezer space)
- Half Steer - Approx. $1200 (full custom order, MANY MANY of each cut, 8 cubic ft of freezer space, suggested "meat swap" or splitting with family
- Place order for whatever quantity you want through Bailey'€™s Local Foods
- Set up a time to chat with Melissa at Vibrant Farms about order specifics (cuts, etc.)
- Receive order at Bailey'€™s Local Foods on the specified date.
Why would you want to buy beef in bulk? Is it really better to buy frozen meat instead of buying fresh? These are questions that I asked Melissa to answer and she has sent these answers and more below:
How Freezer Beef works - choose to go FROZEN
- convenient - like a grocery store in your basement/garage/freezer
- sustainable - using the whole animal
- variety - you get various cuts of meat to use for various occasions
- save money and get THE BEST quality of food
- support local farmers who are farming properly
- just as nutritious - it flash frozen, (so it goes straight from Fresh to frozen) so it doesn'€™t lose any nutrition
- you KNOW the farmer its coming from - in meat shops you can never be certain and organic certification requires that you are able to trace the animals back to their source
- COST EFFECTIVE
- Certified Organic - while it sometimes is ok to have naturally raised or traditionally raised, there are no standards around this, and no third party inspector to verify these farming practices. Many times farmers are farming properly, but it requires a conversation and a farm visit to the farm to see for yourself (and know what your looking for)
- Above and beyond organic - we at Vibrant Farms treat with all homeopathics, no drugs of any sort, and we also ensure proper mineralization of the soil and the feed of the animals. When most of our food is lacking in nutrients these days, it is very valuable that we get all our micro nutrients when we can get them!
When buying Organic Meat - be sure to know where you stand on vaccinations. The use of vaccinations is not banned in organic standards. Be sure to inquire about how your farmer deals with sickness in their herd. Ask about what preventative measures they are taking - for example if they are using mineral premixes, crop rotating, ensuring reduced mould of hay etc etc (there are different standards about Mineral pre-mixes, and often allow for 5% to be non-organic, so ask where they get their mineral from as well).

Hi Everyone!
It's been a lovely break, but we've missed you!
***
A special note to let you know that we are teaming up with Katharina from Anna Tolazzi to make it easy for you to get a chocolate fix before the next pickup day. Valentine's Day is on February 14th, so why not spoil yourself or a loved one with some AMAZING chocolate. Now, the chocolate is not local... sigh... but the love that goes into making these amazing bon bons and bars is! If you want to pick up a little something special, Katharina is taking pre-orders to be picked up at the Kitchener Market on Saturday February 12th from 7am until 2pm! You can find her on the raised section in the southeast corner. You can get to it by a few stairs or an accessible lift! Even if you don't pre-order, stop by on Saturday and say hi if you're already at the market! She usually has lots of amazing treats!
***
We are in full swing planning for the next growing season. We have been speaking to many of our farmers about what they want to grow and how much they can store for us over next winter so we can bring you local produce all year long. There is some talk about the possibility of early strawberries in Spring of 2012. I know this is a long way away but pretty exciting none the less.
We are always open to suggestions of what you want to see on the order form. Please tell us if we're missing something! We keep asking, but no one wants to grow bananas in Elmira yet...
Highlights for this order:
Things to look forward to:
Eat well,
