A Message from Rachael:
It seemed like as soon as I pressed send on the last email there were more things to tell you and one I forgot.
More Cheese!
I thought I listed all our cheese suppliers, but I forgot the goat cheese from Mornington Dairy and C'est Bon that is available through Millbank and our newest cheese supplier: Primeridge Pure! http://primeridgepure.ca/. If you have experienced this yet, you can try some very tasty cheeses from their Holsteins in Markdale! Be sure to look for their Grey Rush cream cheese type spread (natural, or with herbs or hot chili peppers) which is lovely on a bagel, their Fresian Falls feta for your salads as well as curds for munching or extra tasty poutine. They are listed as fresh cow's milk cheeses! in the cheese section under 'dairy'.
Organic Chicken
In addition to the Nutrient Dense, GMO Free beef, pork and chicken from Traditional Foods, Gayl has arranged for Organic whole chickens and breast portions from Field Gate Farms.
A few more Love Bites
I just got an email from Toni at New Moon to say they have freshly baked Love Bites still available. We will be sure to have a limited amount for you! These are made with cocoa, chocolate chips, chipotle pepper, and cinnamon for a blend of spicy and sweet.
Nutty Bakers new products
Anna has a new Steak and Kidney pie available to order! Would you like some squares and cakes from Anna? How about quiche? Look for new products on our next order!

A Message from Rachael:
I've been thinking about writing this email for days. I just haven't taken time in front of the computer to write it down. So, while Daddy is reading to the older two and I have a six month old asleep on top of me. I'm not going anywhere, and now is the time to type.
Local Book Launch!
Speaking of writing, did you know that we have a writer in our midst? Carrie Snyder is a Bailey's member and her second book The Juliet Stories has just been released (and from the early reviews it's WONDERFUL)! Maybe she will come to a Bailey's pickup in Waterloo sometime soon so that she can chat and sign some books for us while she picks up her order! In the meantime, she's having a book launch this Saturday and she said I could invite you! It's Saturday night at the Starlight. She's even serving Luke's tortilla chips - yum! All the book launch details are at http://carrieannesnyder.blogspot.com/2012/01/im-throwing-party-youre-invited.html. See you there!
Carrots or Carats?
OK, Back to the food... So it seems like we're close to the end of the stored organic carrots. This would be a great time to store some for yourselves if you have room in your fridge or cold cellar. The juicer grade carrots from Pfennings should be available for a while longer and we'll do our best to bring you carrots if we can find them - sometimes it's like finding gold!
Cheeses Murphy!
I probably shouldn't use that title as it is the name of the midnight gourmet grilled cheese stand at the Princess Cafe on weekends, but with all the great cheese we have to offer you could make a pretty awesome grilled cheese sammy for yourself any time of the day or night. Cheese is addictive, so I apologize in advance if your are trying to kick the habit.
A regular favourite are the cheeses from Millbank Cheese. From mild to 6 year old cheddar, as well as lots of other varieties in conventional cheese as well as select organic offerings you can't go wrong. Do you prefer the ethnic cheeses from Local Dairy? Paneer, Halloumi, as well as Creme Fraiche, Crema La Vaquita and more! Don't forget Monforte Dairy and their artisinal cheeses from Stratford (Yes! We take Monforte vouchers for those of you who are CSA members!) They took a break from cheesemaking in January, but many of their cheeses are back now. If you are looking for something specific that we haven't yet offered, just ask!
Do you love the goodness of the cheese from Gordon's Goat Dairy? This would be a great month to stock up because their delivery dates will not allow us to order from them until May (email me if you are desperate and I'll see what we can do to help)! The awesome news is that their cheese will keep very well for months! (Yay cheese!) I asked Bethany to send a little note to add to this email and she sent that plus a couple of recipes for you! Thanks Bethany!
From Bethany:
Hi all at Baileys.
Just wanted to remind you that our aged cheddar is aged naturally not chemically. It is aged to perfection under the watchful eye of the cheese maker (for the full year). People are really enjoying the Goatserella. It goes on pizza, making it a perfect choice for the health conscious and the dairy intolerant.
I am sharing a recipe and am encouraging you to send in yours using Gordon's Goat Cheese (Bethany's email is gordonsgoatdairy@gmail.com.)
Tomato Soup and Havarti
- 1 large tin of cubed tomatoes (or homemade canned/frozen)
*Here is a great trick: Take vine ripened tomatoes from the garden or farmers market. Cut in smaller pieces put in a freezer container and freeze. I put them in homemade soup or stews.
*I add no salt as I feel there is enough in the canned tomatoes. But adding herbs would be a nice touch and nutritional as well.
- Rinse tin with goat milk, or soy, rice or other substitute. Add one full tin.
- Grate in Gordon's Goat Havarti - I use about 1 cup. (You can add less or more.)
- Heat on low till soup is warm and cheese is melting.
- Serve with homemade bread or rye croutons.
Here is a recipe shared from one of our happy customers:
Katrina used this recipe for her annual Christmas eve fondue, with goat's milk. It tasted AMAZING!! Also, the chili-flavoured cheese is great on pizza.
Fondue
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) olive oil
- 3 strips bacon, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) flour
- 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) milk
- 3 cups (750 mL) grated goat's milk Mozzarella
- 2 cups (500 mL) (450 g) fresh goat's cheese
- Pinch nutmeg
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Pinch sea salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh chives, finely sliced
Directions
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat and sauté bacon until golden and crisp. Transfer the bacon to paper towel to drain, leaving the tasty drippings in the pot. Add the garlic, sautéing in the bacon drippings for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour, forming a roux, and cook stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Slowly incorporate the milk while stirring to prevent lumps. Gently bring to a simmer. Season with the salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and nutmeg; then slowly incorporate the cheeses while stirring, waiting until each is melted before adding the next one in.
- Transfer to a pre-heated fondue pot and keep warm. Garnish with the crisp bacon and fresh chives and enjoy.

Ordering is now open for the March 5th pickup!
We do have several items that will sell out quickly due to limited availability. Specifically greens. If you don’t want to miss out, place them into your shopping cart soon!
Look for a chatty email this weekend.

From Maryrose:
Hello Folks,
How are you enjoying our barely freezing winter? Rachael and I were chatting a couple of days ago and she mentioned her concern for the maple syrup this year. I wonder what other effect a winter like this will have on our local produce.
Speaking of maple syrup, we tried to make maple taffy (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_taffy) last week when we actually had some snow! It didn't completely work but it was delicious none the less. That reminds me, I need to replenish my maple syrup. I think I am going to order double so I can try to make the taffy again. Snyder Heritage Farms uses organic production standards (though they are not certified) to bring us Maple Syrup in Light, Amber and Medium grades. It can be found in the 'syrup' section under 'other'.
Believe it or not, I discovered a product I haven't tried before. I make it a point to try as many of our products as possible. I like to know first hand what we are offering. I for the most part am not a big fan of breakfast sausage. I have never ordered it before for that reason. There was a package left behind by Traditional Foods. I decided since there wouldn't be any bacon until the next batch of pork was ready, to give them a try. They were delicious. I am pretty sure they will be a standing item in order going forward. (Rachael's kids agree!)
My son Otis has decided the new nacho cheese flavoured corn chips from McKechnie are his current favourite item. I didn't even get any from the last order. He ate the whole bag. They were a great snack to send in his lunch. We eat a lot of quesadilla's, burritos and fajitas at our house. I don't know what we would do if we couldn't get the whole wheat tortillas from McKechnie. If you haven't tried them before I highly recommend them. We haven't looked back since. Every single product from McKechnie is absolutely amazing.
I am very excited to plant a garden this year. Last year I managed to get all the plants in the ground but that was about it. It became a casualty of my pregnancy. Sarah's Kitchen Gardens has seed starting kits in the plant section for anyone interested in starting their plants from seed. I don't have any windows with the proper exposure to sun. Thank goodness she will be selling seedlings too. Check out her 2012 catalogue here!
Here is a reminder of a couple of specials being offered this pickup:
- 10% off select preserves from Barrie's Asparagus
- Nutty Bakers is offering all 5" pies at $2.75 Regularly ($3.25)
We are lucky enough to also have Rounds Beans back on the order form this month. I am not sure if we will be offering them again while we are on our Monday pick up days. For that reason I recommend everyone stock up while they can.
We still have some organic ground beef left. Again I am not sure when we will be getting more from Vibrant Farms, but you can always order a package that fits your freezer to get the best of organic, grass fed beef!
Golden Hearth is back on the order form too. Did you miss them? I know I did. I can't wait to get my hands back on their chocolate croissants. I love popping them in the microwave for 10 seconds. The chocolate becomes all melted and gooey.
Mmm... I am getting hungry writing this email. I think I need to go find a late night snack...
