A Message from Rachael:
I've been trying to send this email since Thursday... and look, it's now late Sunday night/early Monday morning! It's been a lovely holiday and I've really enjoyed the break from the computer and time with family!
Let me guess. You've been busy too? Well, take a few minutes and put in your order. I'll send more emails next year, but this might be a great time to make sure you get awesome local food to start January off right!
Here is a list things to look for:
- So many awesome prepared foods including new selections from Winnie's Gluten-Free Foods. The tourtiere was a hit at dinner tonight!
- Squash! Sam Bowman called the other day and we added the squash he still has! Get it before it's gone! He added kale too!
- Tia's Bakery has been forcing us to try new things. The crusty rolls are amazing and we also really liked the Multigrain bread. It was amazing with soup!
- Beans! The vegetarian baked beans served at lunch for 30(!) were a hit and they featured Great White Northern Beans from Rounds Brand. Stock up now and we'll offer them again in a couple months!
- Gumboot Gourmet has a Lamb Sausage with no fillers (you can choose from Real Salt (http://www.realsalt.com/) and Pepper or Garlic, Real Salt and Pepper
- Chef To You Frozen Soups - Three varieties in two serving sizes. Frozen and ready for you to heat and eat!
- Spud's Own All Ontario Kettle Chips. 2 for $5!
- Pasta and Noodles from J&D Peters - Did you know that noodles have eggs and pasta doesn't?
- Tamales, Tostadas, Tacos, and wraps from McKechnie. When we opened our last bag of tortilla chips I noticed that the label said 100% organic corn! Way to go Doug! We're so excited for lots of amazing changes. As soon as we find out that all the chips will be organic we'll change the listing, but in the mean time we know that all the corn is GMO Free.
- China Rose Radishes. They were so pretty at the last pickup that I had to take a photo!
- Organic Flour and Grains from Oak Manor. I hear the 7 grain cereal is tasty!
- Golden Guernsey Milk - So creamy!
- Tasty Sausages from Traditional Foods
- Turkey Necks and Backs (awesome for soup) from Snyder Heritage Farms are on sale! Only $2.75!
Happy New Year!!

A Message from Rachael:
I'm sneaking in a little reminder before a few days off with family. I also added some tasty food to my order as I know this is a busy season and I'm likely to leave it to the last minute and forget to order something important...
Thank you from us and from Welcome Home!
Welcome Home is a Refugee Housing Community and thanks to you they have been eating better since the Summer of 2011 when Erica and Anita offered to pick up extra food at the end of each pickup. This year we have continued donating extra food and this is the second year we have sent them a cheque earmarked to buy food for the refugee families in residence! In 2012 we received over $500 in donations through our order form (See the $5 Donation item in the 'other' section of our order form) and Welcome Home will be providing receipts for all donations over $10. We also collected table fees from the artisans that were at the two pickups in December and together with matching from Bailey's we are so happy to send $1000 to Welcome Home! Want to learn more about Welcome Home? Their website is http://welcomehome.iteams.ca/
Carrots - store the dirty ones!
January is a great time to stock up on all those veggies that you want to have until the new crop grows. We'll try to have them available as long as possible, but at some point even the farmers will run out! We have so many awesome carrot options!
Best for storage in your cellar (or fridge) are unwashed carrots. Angie from Fertile Ground has these for us and frankly, a little organic soil is GOOD for you! According to Sandor Katz (the fermentation guy) the new, cool supplements/probiotics on the market are SBOs (or Soil Based Organisms).... also known as DIRT! Instead of taking a supplement, you can eat more organic veggies and fruits and not worry so much about removing all the dirt. Sandor would recommend eating some live fermented food too, so make a quick sauerkraut with cabbage and other root veggies. If you need a recipe, check out http://www.wildfermentation.com/making-sauerkraut-2/
Back to Carrots... If you'd prefer pre-washed carrots, we have tasty ones from Nith Valley (Nathan got a veggie washer this year and LOVES it!) and Sam Bowman and Pfenning's have organic carrots. We also offer conventional carrots through Martin's Family Fruit Farm. If you want something a bit more colourful there are purple carrots too for a limited time!
Here are a few things to look for:
- New frozen fruit - Ontario Natural Organic Strawberries, Saskatoon Berries and Rhubarb. Flash Frozen within hours of picking in a convenient 300 g re-sealable bag!
- Harrington Lane Farms has rack of lamb + sausage (new batch!) available for January!
- Snyder Heritage Farms has a sale on turkey necks and backs! So great for soup! Now $2.75, regularly $5.25
- Garlic. Get enough to last until spring! A braid would look great in your kitchen or cellar!
And now some sage advice from Linda, my friend's mom:
Eat lots of good food, enjoy good company and breathe in all the fun and merriment, And keep it until next year!
Merry Christmas,
Maryrose and Rachael

Items that you have placed in your shopping cart will be ordered on your behalf on Thursday Januray 3rd at 8:00pm. There is no checkout button. If you do not intend to order, please ensure that your shopping cart is empty.
Our "Winter" dates are Monday Jan 7th and 28th, Feb 11th, March 4th and 25th, April 15th
Friday dates will resume in May!
From Rachael:
Let me guess. Your fridge is full in anticipation for the holidays and January 7th and 2013 seem like they should still be far off... BUT why not put a few things in your shopping cart now so that you can have your local shopping for January done early? I promise that the season will only get busier and by pickup day on the 7th all the leftovers and cookies should be eaten and you can work on your New Year's resolution to eat more dark chocolate (That's only me? Hm.)
Photos from Open Shutters
If you want to see me, Maryrose and our youngest daughters at the beginning of October in a lovely Community Garden, take a look at some sweet photos of the Harvest Babies at http://openshuttersphotography.com/blog/?p=1994.
We thank Catherine of Open Shutters Photography for taking these lovely photos. As some of you might know, in August of 2011 Rachael and Maryrose both had baby girls. Laura was born 20 days before Marlo and these little ladies have brought us much joy in the last year (and a bit of sleep deprivation too). As an amazing gift to us, one of our members, Catherine offered to take photos of our girls and we are happy to share them with you! You can even check out some of her other photos. I found quite a few familiar faces among her subjects!
Pie in a Jar
Cider Keg made these awesome spreads this year and it's so yummy we want you to try some! We'll be sharing some with you at the January 7th pickup and we'll put it on special too... It's regularly $6 per jar, but if you buy two jars we'll give you a dollar off! 2 jars for $11! Where would you use Pie In A Jar? On ice cream, on toast, on a spoon... The best part are the ingredients... As an example the Cherry Pie In A Jar contains: Ontario Sour Cherries, sugar, Ontario apple cider, and pectin. That's it! (ingredients are listed on the order form) You'll find these in the 'preserved' section.
Some healthy food to buy in January to help keep resolutions:
- Award winning Gordon's Goat Cheese (again!)
- Flour and grains from Oak Manor
- Dried Beans from Rounds
- Yogurt
- Tea - We are lucky to have blends from Little City Farm and Revive
- XL Tortilla wraps (12 inches in diameter!)
Solstice is coming!
I get so excited about Winter Solstice. It means that the days are about to get longer! Many people wait until Solstice to start eating their preserves from the summer. I'm not so rstrained, but I think I'll enjoy some peaches in light honey syrup that were canned this summer on Friday to celebrate - and if the world ends, I'll be happy!
Breslau Location discontinued
To our valued members of Bailey's Local Foods at Breslau Local Food Market,
We have reached the end of the one year pilot project at the Breslau Community Centre. It was our intention to help the Breslau Local Food Market committee grow this endeavour to a vibrant community market. The market has not grown and we have seen a steady decline in sales and attendance. As of the new year the cost of running this location will increase. We are a small business that is not able to support a pick up location that is not breaking even. We have made the difficult decision to end our presence at the market at this time.
We welcome people from Breslau to continue to be a member and pick up you local food at our Waterloo location. If people want to work together to pick up multiple orders and bring them back to Breslau to distribute among friends we can work with you on this.
Our last pick up day in Breslau was December 17th. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to continue to see you in Waterloo enjoying a great selection of local food.
As a result of our departure, the existing market committee has decided to discontinue the Breslau Local Food Market at this time. If you would like to see a market continue in Breslau we urge you to join the market committee!
We thank Carolyn, Grace and Janet for all they have done for this market and your community and wish our fellow vendors the best in all future endeavours! Thanks also go to Allie, who managed Bailey's in Breslau and made connections with so many of you!
The Waterloo pickup location will continue, no worries about that!
Be well,
Maryrose and Rachael

A Message from Rachael:
If you get to this Tuesday night after 8pm, go on and order anyway! Ordering is extended until Wednesday at 8pm!
This is the email that I didn't write.
When asked what their favourite things to order are on our facebook page, here are replies from a few awesome members:
- Butter tarts! Do I really need to explain? (We offer them plain, with nuts and even gluten free!)
- Mushrooms. Can't get gorgeous fresh, giant boxes of mushrooms like that just anywhere. Oh and the treats. But I try to focus on the veggies.
- Whole wheat tortillas, microgreens from the Working Centre and if I am treating myself, the olive tapenade from Mama and Papa's. Oh and ... and .... and....
- Snider's pork sausage, both cased and uncased (for "egg mcmuffins"). Also the prepared food from Casa Salsa, especially the chicken quesadillas because they're big enough for a meal. Also the Guernsey milk. And all the veggies from Nith Valley, especially their spinach. And the cherry tomatoes that taste as sweet as candy...
- Glad to see Chef to You soup on there. I eat soup a lot at work in the cold weather
- Gotta have my milk (Golden Guernsey 2%), caramels (Hugo & Nate), springerle (Ambrosia Pastry Co.) and more
- Peanuts and pot pies (plus so many other things)
- Love the quinoa tabbouleh (Green Table Foods), Luke's tortilla chips, Nutty Bakers meatloaf
- Not sure how I could pick just a few favourites - I definitely have certain things that I buy in every order (mushrooms, spinach, yogurt) and I am hooked on some of the treats - Asparagus Nacho tortilla chips, Fleur de sel caramels, peanut butter cups, Anna Tolazzi chocolate, and now Ambrosia maple macarons! I love when I can buy local things when they are in season that are SO amazingly tasty, like tomatoes and peppers and the strawberries that never seemed to end this year. And we ate a whole lot of eggplant this year - I would crave stir-fried eggplant every week in the summer and early fall. Now we are hunkering down into the root crops and my baby is getting his first tastes of sweet potatoes and squash. Bailey's has made it possible for me to enjoy all of these wonderful foods and to feel good about where they come from
- Veggies, fruit, pot pies, eggs, black bean hummus, and Luke's tortilla chips (in that order). My kids go nuts for the tamales too. The cheese sticks from Grainharvest are also wonderful out of the toaster all week.
Thank you for sharing your favourite things!
Also look for some greens and herbs that were just added from Nith Valley! Scoop them up quickly!
Be well!

A Message from Rachael:
Saturday morning I thought I was sleeping in. The kids got up around 7:30 and dad offered to take them to the market (all of them!). I did get to sleep in until just after 9, but then the phone rang. It was a new farmer and we chatted for a bit, me still quite groggy, before I got up to add some new items to our offering list. We ended up talking for more than an hour (when the family returned!) Sam Bowman sold to Nina in the first year of Bailey's but at that time decided to concentrate more on the Guelph Market. He says that some of you like to go to his farm and have asked why his produce is not available through us... Now it is! Right now he has some storage vegetables that our other farmers have run out of including Spanish onions, leeks, and red cabbage! He also has lots of carrots in storage and we look forward to offering you local carrots as long as he has them!
Here is a list of newly added items:
- Gluten Free Italian Loaf from Tia's Bakery. My kids are in love with her baking! We're stocking up and putting a few loaves in the freezer for holiday meals so that the people who can't have gluten and dairy can still enjoy some bread with their meal. It has been a treat to have. Look for them under 'gluten free' in the 'bakery' section.
- Gumboot Gourmet has a Lamb Sausage with no fillers (you can choose from Real Salt (http://www.realsalt.com/) and Pepper or Garlic, Real Salt and Pepper
- Chef To You Frozen Soups - Three varieties in two serving sizes. Frozen and ready for you to heat and eat! See more details below!
A few more items to consider: - From These Roots preserves are 2 for $10! (discount taken at checkout) We'll have lots on the Spontaneous table!
- Spud's Own All Ontario Kettle Chips. 2 for $5!
- Stone Ground Wheat Tortilla wraps and all the other great things from McKechnie. My kids are excited to have tacos for dinner tonight. They are way better than store bought and the corn is now all grown in Ontario!
Let us introduce Terry Alkin who makes the Chef To You Soups:
I was born in Ireland and emigrated with my young family to Cambridge Ont. I have manufactured for Zehr’s, and ran my own deli, and restaurants. I have been a chef for many years, specializing in Soups, Salads and Marinades. I am top award winner for the Heart Healthy soup of the year, Heart Stroke Foundation for curry carrot soup. I cook with a lot of passion, and produce healthy nutritious meals. I use the best fresh ingredients from Local and Ontario producers wherever possible. Fresh herbs and spices used correctly and infused into cooking have many health benefits. I do not use flour or MSG and all soups are low in sodium 1.85mg per cup or 8oz. I rarely use dairy products, and when I do, it is clearly marked.
Stats:
Shelf life 6 days at 39F/4C or lower (all soups, can be frozen), Cooking temp 160F/71C, Holding temp 140F/60C
Microwave approx 90 seconds - 150 seconds for 2 cup portion
Be well!

A Message from Rachael:
Thanks to all who came to our pickup on Monday! Thank you also to our incredible artisan vendors who came to the Waterloo location! There will be more vendors on the 17th in Waterloo!
What's your holiday?
Whether you are celebrating Chanukah, Solstice, Christmas or Kwanzaa you have to eat, right? And if you have an excuse to give gifts, consider some local ones including local food items. In our pantry section you can find peanuts, rainbow popcorn, chocolate, tea, coffee. Visiting? Bring a hostess gift of Hugo & Nate or Garden Party Caramels or some of the specialty cookies by Ambrosia Pastry Co.
We have your bird!
Turkeys from Snyder's Heritage Farms or Vibrant Farms, Duck from Anam Cara, Chicken from Apple Creek Farm and Snyder Heritage Farms too! All our birds are processed and frozen immediately so that you never have a bird that has been thawed for too long. We brined our bird (it's the royal 'we' here - Andrew is the cook in our house!) at Thanksgiving and it was the best yet. I'd highly recommend it!
From These Roots - December special!
Krista is extending a great special for December. We can offer From These Roots jams and preserves two for $10! You can choose two and have the difference taken at the checkout or order a set of two jars (of your choice) that you can pick when you arrive based on what is in stock!
Spud's Finest All Ontario Kettle Chips
I enjoyed a bag last night while working on this email. Likely not good for the keyboard, but what can I do about that? They are such a hit that we've decided to offer them 2 bags for $5 and if we don't have samples out on the 17th, just ask! It's a great size for sharing!

Theresa from Garden Party wrote about pumpkins and small scale farming (what most of our farmers do) at http://www.wrfoodsystem.ca/blog/2012/10/29/kiss--keep-it-small--sweetie. I think you'll like it.
