A message from Rachael:
The next pickup seems so far away. May 10th is our first Friday of 2013, the Friday before Mother's Day and only a week before the Victoria Day long weekend and the unofficial start of summer (maybe the snow will have stopped by then).
So far I have a few kinds of cheese in my shopping basket. The Colby and Monterey Jack from Millbank shredded and mixed together are necessary for quesadillas around here. It's a quick lunch without much clean up. I'm also getting some pepperettes and other foods for travelling as we have a little trip in store. How about you?
The winter is a bit of a slower time for us so we have a chance to catch up and make improvements. Did you notice the new and improved pick up slips? Now your purchases are grouped by the area in the hall where you will find them and in order by supplier as well! At the next pickup all the items that you order multiples of will be a different colour so that you remember to pick up the number you ordered! I hope that this makes your pick up experience more fun!
Another of the things we're working on right now is updating our very out of date website. We're putting together a bit of information on each our farmers, producers and suppliers so that you can get to know them better. After asking you on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/baileyslocalfoods) and twitter (https://twitter.com/BaileysLocal) you want to know about items that are GMO free. Just as a quick primer, all farmers who are certified organic are GMO free. We'll do our best to find out the farmers who only grow or use GMO free seed and products and let you know. If you have input on what you'd like to see this would be a great time to share it with us!
Just like I remind you to stock up when it's a big stretch between pickups I'll remind you that you only have to shop for 2 weeks this time. We're easing back to weekly pickups as the produce ramps up. Soon enough there will be asparagus, rhubarb and then strawberries!
Going back to Fridays means we've added back breads from Golden Hearth Baking Co, but that well unfortunately loose items from Winnie's Gluten Free Foods. Organic, stone ground flour from Oak Manor will be available on the first pickup of each month through the summer (if you mark things on your calendar you can mark May 10th, June 7th, July 5th and Aug 9th)
New Moon Cookies was recently featured in an article on Blog To. If you've ever wondered what the kitchen looks like, here's a chance to check out some action photos and see the cookies being made. http://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2013/04/behind_the_scenes_at_new_moon_kitchen/

Maple mania!
Record crowds at the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival this year and perfect conditions for bumper crops! We're on our way out to watch Kevin fo Snyder Heritage farms boil some sap right now! Photos to follow!
Edible Plants for your garden!
Are you interested in growing more food within city limits?
Would you like some of your edible landscaping to be lower maintenance than a vegetable garden? How fresh would you like your breakfast fruit and berries?
A small group of local foodies (including us at Bailey's) have cooked up the possibility of a bulk wholesale purchase of edible trees and shrubs, including both imported and native plants. If you are interested, fill in the form (with more info) here ASAP.

Spring?
I don't even want to talk about this weather. What better excuse to cuddle up with a bowl of popcorn though!
We need to stock up on dried beans over here. I am down to my last cup of red lentils and after this weekend's ham we might just need split peas too. Dinner tonight was split pea soup with the leftovers from Saturday's yummy ham - it smelled great in the crock pot all day!
When you're shopping the order form, look for:
- Kim-Chi from Green Table Foods (now in the 'prepared' section - really) 3 sizes available!
- Beans from Rounds - Stock up!
- Flour from Oak Manor
- Onions from Nith Valley - Nathan just found some extra in storage!
- Spinach from Kingwood Farms - Now ready!
- New cheeses from Monforte. Yum.
- New Bean and Beef Tamales from McKechnie. (when you need more than their tortillas)
- Organic Grass Fed Ground Beef from Vibrant Fams
