A Message from Maryrose:

Hello Folks,

I am going to try and keep it short. There is so much I need to tell you about. There are two more pick up days before the New Year! I haven't even begun to make my gift giving list for the holidays. Have you? Every time I ask someone what they want or need for Christmas the answer is that they don't need anything or don't know what they need. Our household is no different. What do you give to a person that has everything and wants for nothing? The answer of course is FOOD!!! We can always use a little great food to share with our friends.

We have a lot of gift giving options for you this year. Check out the gifts available in the 'other' section.

• A one year Bailey's Local Foods Membership with a jar of our signature Pear Apple Sauce!
• From These Roots Jam selections as well as Krista's new gift pack of four flavours in mini jars!
  
• Anna Tolazzi - Hot Chocolate mixes in gift boxes, boxed truffles, new flavoured bar varieties and holiday chocolates
• Little City Farm herbal teas are back in stock
• Sarah's Kitchen Gardens is offering her Seed Starting Kit again!
• We will also do the work for you with our assorted Gift Baskets. Have a look: http://baileyslocalfoods.ca/GiftBaskets.php

Baking
It is also time to stock up for your Holiday baking. Perry from Oak Manor has extended his 10% off sale through to the end of the Holiday Season. If you are not a baker or do not have time to bake we have a great selection:

• Cookies (Vegan) from New Moon Kitchen including their seasonal Lemon Cranberry Crunch that got great reviews on Monday
• Gluten Free Christmas cookies from Circle of Life
• Breads - Lena Horst makes them from scratch!
• Ultimate Ginger and Belgian Crackles - Golden Hearth Baking
• Cookies, Stollen and Gingerbread people from Grainharvest

New Items
There are some new items that you may have noticed either on the offering list or seen on the Spontaneous Table.

• Micro greens from The Working Centre... grown in Kitchener
• Old Cheddar and Cranberry Havarti from Gordon's Goat Dairy
• Cream Cheeses, Curds and Feta from Primeridge Pure
• Maple sugar from Snyder Heritage Farms - Kevin thinks you should start thinking about your holiday turkey also!
• Beeswax from Bauman Apiaries
• We have new crop products from Kernal Peanuts - including Peanut Brittle, Chocolate Peanut clusters and White Chocolate covered popcorn.

Highlights

• Did you have a chance to try cider from Cider Keg at the last pick up? We just received a new shipment and now have all flavours back in stock. It is a great non alcoholic beverage to have on hand at holiday parties.
• Have you tried Bauman Apiaries Raspberry Creamed Honey or their Cinnamon Creamed Honey? They are super yummy
• Paul Bowman has let us know he will only have garlic until the end of December. After that we will have to wait for the new crop next year. Stock up now! For a special treat, buy one of Paul's Garlic braids to hang on the wall for easy access all winter long!
• We are placing an order from Country Flavour soon! This means it is your chance to order full cases of their products such as - stewed tomatoes, peaches, pears and so much more. Just think of the pickle tray you could make with a selection of their products

The Nutty Bakers are BACK!!!
Many of you have asked us when we will be getting those great meat pies back. The Nutty Bakers will be at our pickups for the month of December and hopefully in the new year too! Anna and Mary make the excellent Pot Pies, Tourtière, Fruit Cake, Cabbage Rolls, Lasagna, Meatloaf and Sweet and sour meatballs that so many of you have missed. Watch for Steak and Beef Kidney Pie in the new year!

Local Artisans
We will be hosting a small selection of local Artisans at both of our December pick up dates. Here is a bit about the vendors who will be attending on December 5th:

Little City Farm
Homestead Herbals is a small home business based in Kitchener, Ontario. Karin is a Master Herbalist and her goal is to create quality handmade herbal products & soaps using organic, natural ingredients that provide nourishing, healing effects for you & the planet. The herbs used in these products are grown on our own Little City Farm property, or sourced from local organic farms whenever possible.

 

Revive
Herbalicious Teas are the original creations of Helen Theodosiou, a western herbalist, nutrition counsellor and owner of Revive Natural Health Clinic in Kitchener. Delicious and refreshing, the teas contain only organically-grown ingredients, most of which have been shown to be effective in addressing specific health/wellness concerns. Helen's Herbalicious tea line as well as her Luscious Lady line of skin products blossomed out of a need to provide her clients with natural products that contain the "real thing".
 
Studio 28
Marly Penner and Angie Karst teach workshops and create fused glass and mixed metal jewelry in their uptown Waterloo studio. Using an innovative new material called metal clay, they form and texture silver, copper, and bronze to create original and one-of-a-kind wearable pieces of art. Please drop by to see their creations and pick up a workshop brochure. You can also check out their website at www.studio28waterloo.ca
 
Esther Devries-Lasby is a local potter who has been making functional pottery for over 10 years, and she is happy to bring her pots to the December pick ups again this year. Although she is best known for her clay milk pitchers, Esther produces mugs, coasters, casseroles, bowls, plates and platters. You will find her pots to contain numerous textural designs as well as a variety of glazes. A new piece for Esther this fall is a collaboration with her father...look for birch candle sticks on a black clay pedestal.
 
Loopeeeee.com
Maryrose has been making gifts for many years and now has decided to spread her wings and sell these great items. She specializes in fibres - both knit and sewn. You can find many reusable items, snack bags, produce bags, kerchiefs and knitted hats. If you have a little (or big) superhero, check out her superhero capes!
 

Enjoy yourselves!

From Rachael:

With the first snow under our belts I feel more comfortable (seasonal?) talking about the first December pickup! If you were in my neighbourhood, those were our sheets hanging on the line in the snow yesterday. I'm sure the neighbours were chuckling.

Want an inspiring meal idea? Check out Aura's soup of the day on her blog at http://foodaura.wordpress.com/2011/11/13/roasted-apple-and-celeriac/ Yum! I'm sure it would be lovely with some cheese from Gordon's Goat Dairy on top. Check out their one year old flavoured cheddars and NEW Havarti with organic fruit sweetened cranberries!!

A Message from Rachael:

• Flour from Oak Manor - now on sale! 10% off all flour! Thanks Perry! (Time to think of holiday baking)
  
• Beans from Rounds Brand - These will be offered approximately once per month.
• Maple Sugar from Snyder Heritage Farms - I think my kids would eat the whole jar if we weren't watching!
• Garlic - We will only sell garlic until the end of December - so make sure you stock up until we have fresh crop available in late June!

• Please note that we carry both Organic and Conventional Apples from Apple Creek Farm (and don't forget the conventional apples from Martin's). Be sure you order and pick up the item you intend to. We have labelled all the items to make it easier for you to choose correctly and if you have any questions at the pickup, please ask us for help!

Do you remember the local artists/crafters that we had at our December pickups last year? We're planning on doing it again! If you are or know a local artist that is interested in a table, please have them contact us!

Starting seeds

It's never too early to encourage a green thumb! Do you know someone who has always wanted to garden, but needs a little boost? Consider this the perfect gift!

Sarah's Kitchen Gardens wants to make it as easy as possible for you to start your own seeds indoors, particularly if you've never tried before. The Seed Starting Kit contains enough seeds to fill the tray and your backyard garden while still giving you as much variety as possible. A great gift idea too! For a complete list of seed varieties and kit contents, please visit http://sarahskitchengardens.com/products/seed-kit-contents/

Normally I send this reminder that ordering is open right away, but life here has been busy! We've been enjoying the lovely weather and I hope that you have too! Our order form opens the Thursday after the old order form closes - at least until the end of December when we change to less frequent pickups.

This pickup will be a great week for stocking up!
Fill your pantry with:

• Flour from Oak Manor - now on sale! 10% off all flour! Thanks Perry! (Time to think of holiday baking)
  
• Beans from Rounds Brand - These will be offered approximately once per month.
• Maple Sugar from Snyder Heritage Farms - I think my kids would eat the whole jar if we weren't watching!

• Peanuts from Kernal Peanuts - new crop!
  

Peanuts and Rain
I've been trying to buy peanuts for more than a month now. You remember all that rain we got in early October (what I lovingly call the monsoon season)? It prevented many farmers, including our peanut growers from harvesting the crops that were planted in the ground. Last year was a smaller peanut crop than usual, so stock was already low, but imagine having a great crop and not being able to harvest it? I've been thinking of Nancy and the folks from Kernal since the rain stopped and hoping that it stayed warm enough not to freeze those awesome peanuts in the ground! Another advantage to you is that I can assure you that these are the freshest peanuts you've ever tasted!

Gifts?
It's the season for giving and receiving and we want to make it easier on you! You can give the gift of Bailey's which includes a 1 year membership and a jar of our signature Pear Apple Sauce (yum!) or we will be adding gift baskets to the order form shortly and also asking our suppliers to extend their holiday baskets to you. So far we're offering Seed Starting Kits from Sarah's Kitchen Gardens and hope to add items from Anna Tolazzi and Monforte to name a few! Keep checking the 'gifts' section!

Tamworth Pork!
We have a new supplier and I can't wait to taste what she's offering! Here is a quick introduction from Judy:

Anam Cara Farm is owned by Judy Furtenbacher Horvath and Bob Horvath. It is a 100 acre farm about half an hour southwest of Kitchener. The farm has sandy soils, and 22 acres of bush and swamp. Some of the land is rented to a neighbouring farmer, and Judy operates the rest using a pastured livestock model and rotational grazing, and organically growing hay. While not yet certified organic, organic practices are followed with all the livestock on the farm.

Tamworth pigs are a heritage breed from England, which has been relatively pure for many decades. Most hog breeds were "improved" with Chinese hog genes. Some people have found they can tolerate Tamworth pork, but not other varieties. Tamworths are large, rusty red pigs. They do not do well in confinement, and so haven't been raised in commercial hog barns. We currently have two sows (mothers), Silky and Curly, and a boar, Jimmy. Our pigs are out on pasture for much of the year. They have a half to one acre of pasture and wood to root around in, wallow in hot weather, and play. They are fed a diet of entirely organic grain, without soybeans, soaked in whey or skim milk from a herd of grass fed organic cows. On this diet they grow well and have always been exceptionally healthy. Diatomaceous earth and wood ashes are used for parasite control. Our cuts of pork sometimes have a little more fat than what you buy in the grocery store, but that adds wonderful flavour!

On our farm we also raise white rock chickens during the summer, on pasture, pastured hens for eggs, and free range muscovy duck. The poultry are fed organically, and their feed is also soaked in skim milk. The ducks breed through the spring and summer, raising broods of 5-15 ducklings. Ducks are usually available from November through December. We also do educational farm visits for homeschoolers and elementary schools, operate a chick hatching business, as well as keeping Jersey cows for the family, and a horse and pony.

We welcome your interest and any inquiries into our farm.

Kind Regards,
Judy Furtenbacher Horvath

A couple more items to look out for:

• Watermelon Radishes and Black Radishes
• Tatsoi
  
• Stringed Cayenne Peppers
• Late Storage Cabbage
• Apple Butter
• Lots of apples including spies, crispins, fujis, russets and so many more!
  

Bundle up for some chill on Friday!

 A reminder to bring out your pumpkins tonight!

There are two different Pumpkin events that will take place locally this year:

• 2nd Annual "Great Alexandra Pumpkin Patch" in Alexandra Park (located in UpTown Waterloo).
• 1st Annual "Great Duke Street Park Pumpkin Patch in Duke St Park (on Duke St, between Bismark and Shanley St).

They will both take place on November 1st starting at 6pm and are inspired by the "Sorauren Pumpkin Patch" in Roncesvalles (Toronto). Sneak a peek at some photos at http://www.blogto.com/city/2008/11/the_great_sorauren_pumpkin_patch/
