A Message from Rachael:
On Saturday we had a lovely pork roast with spaghetti squash, coleslaw and 3 giant potatoes (from my dad's garden) that fed 5 adults and 7 children! After that fine meal we were contemplating dinner for Sunday - what to make? When we realized that it was Grey Cup Sunday, chili was the easy choice! We defrosted a package of stewing beef, soaked some red kidney beans and the magic of an awesome cook, more vegetables and the crock pot made for a lovely dinner with the addition of corn bread muffins made by our 8 year old. What did you eat this weekend?
Hmm... What should I tell you about this week:
- All the items from Traditional Gardener are on sale right now! Look for them in the 'other' section of our order form and see how lovely they are at http://www.traditionalgardener.com/ A great gift for the gardener in your life!
- Peanuts from Kernal are back! We should get our order from Norfolk this week, but I've made some educated guesses as to what is freshly roasted and ready for us!
- Organic beef! We just filled the freezer with grass fed organic beef from Vibrant Farms! Look for select cuts and ground and stewing beef too!
- Gluten and Dairy Free baked goods from Tia's Bakery. Approved by my kids!
- Tortillas from McKechnie for a snack or a wrap.
- Vegetable Crackers from Barrie's Asparagus are being baked this week and will definitely be available on Monday!
- Now we're getting serious about gift baskets. "Bailey's Goes Gourmet" is a treat that any food lover would appreciate!
From Gayl:
Traditional Foods is sampling sausage from the BBQ on December 3rd's pick up. Both Ross and Gayl look forward to talking to you about their products and offering tastes of their new lamb sausage in addition to the old favourite pork sausage. As a special to warm up the shorter days, save $5 when you purchase any 2 roasts.
Enjoy the snow!

Our "Winter" dates are Monday December 3rd and 17th
Monday Jan 7th and 28th, Feb 11th, March 4th and 25th, April 15th
From Rachael:
It sometimes seems sad when the season winds down, but after looking through our list of local food available at the beginning of December I'm getting excited again!
I spoke with Brenda Knechtel tonight and she told me how many root vegetables she washed so far this year. She estimates 1.5 tonnes washed root vegetables!
This includes 1000 lb winter radish, 1000 lb carrots, 1300 lb beets and between 300-400 lb Jerusalem artichokes. All this was washed in an old ringer washer without the wringer. Thank you Brenda for growing, harvesting, washing and storing all these amazing organic foods!
Some of the great local food available this winter:
- Root crops - carrot, radishes, beets, potatoes - all just grown for winter comfort food!
- Garlic, Fresh herbs (thank you mild weather!) and dried herbs - keep some spice in your life!
- Organic beef! We just filled the freezer with grass fed organic beef from Vibrant Farms! Look for select cuts and ground and stewing beef too!
- Apples! Such a great fruit that keeps well in the winter!
- Amazing baked goods - great Gluten Free options too!
- Prepared food from pot pies, dips, curry and soup to Mexican empanadas!
- Add a little fizz with sparkling cider from The Cider Keg!
- 'Tis the season... With the holidays coming, what better gift than the gift of local! In our gifts section we have a few baskets to choose from, or of you want a custom basket prepared, please talk to us!
Enjoy!

A Message from Rachael:
Are you looking forward to our holiday artisans? In the past we have invited artisans to set up tables during our pickup to make it easier for you to pick up your order AND get some shopping done! If you are or know of someone who makes cool stuff locally, please have them contact us! We charge $20 per table and send all of the money collected to Welcome Home!
I always forget to mention something. This time there were a few late additions and changes that we wanted to tell you about!
- Tempeh! locally grown and made in Kitchener from Henry's Tempeh! Look for it (and tofu) in the 'meats and proteins' section. Yummy, organic and gluten free!
- Tia's Bakery gluten free and dairy free muffins, bagels, and other baked goods that you will love! Her muffins are excellent! Look in the 'gluten free' section under 'bakery'
- Boughs for holiday decorating from Theresa of Garden Party - Look for them in the 'plants' section (and likely on the spontaneous table on Monday!)
- More spinach available from Nith Valley! Thanks in part to this lovely weather and an excellent farmer!
- Tortillas! Tortillas! Tortillas! We ate Mexican food tonight including salsa with the great tomatoes from Kingwood and corn tortillas. Also, the price on the flour tortillas has been reduced! (check the mint in your garden - if it's like mine you can make a mojito to go with your meal!)
- Don't forget to stock up on dried beans and flour!
Enjoy,

A Message from Rachael:
Oh my what a lovely unseasonably warm Sunday! There was a great turnout at the Waterloo cenotaph for Rememberance Day and at our house the afternoon was spent cleaning up the backyard and garden (instead of sending this email). Now I hurt, but the yard is ready for winter!
It's really comfort food season. We've been enjoying soups and roasts and are anticipating crock pot meals too. That and popcorn. Yum. What are your favourite foods when the weather cools down?
Mary and Pete from Apple Creek Farm have diversified this year. After loosing their organic apple crop to a late frost they are growing potatoes as well as heirloom and slicing tomatoes in their greenhouse! I got a quick note from Mary last week when it was quite cold out saying: the greenhouse is 70 degrees right now with a wood fire going out there. I hope to keep it going for a few more weeks... we will see how the night time temperatures go :) While we don't have organic apples, we DO have organic apple butter and apple sauce! Honey too!
Herbal Loose Leaf Teas from Little City Farm, Kitchener
With cooler weather comes a great excuse for a hot cup of teat to warm the hands and the soul. We have a great selection of locally blended herbal teas and are excited to again offer Karin's lovely blends.
From Karin:
These delicious loose leaf herbal teas are grown at the Little City Farm urban homestead in Kitchener using sustainable methods, and/or wild harvested carefully, and/or purchased from certified organic sources. We are very happy to have Brenda Knechtel (Wellesley) growing some certified organic herbs for us that we do not have the space to grow ourselves. Karin is a certified herbalist and has created these tea blends to provide nutrition, healing and strengthening for the body, including blends that aid with stress, winter flu, sleep, and digestion.
The loose leaf blends come packaged in a brown kraft paper bag, made of post-consumer recycled materials. Each tea is labelled with an ingredient list and details on how to brew your perfect cup of tea. Each bag holds 40 grams, which is enough to make approximately 10 pots of tea. These special teas are prepared in small batches and will only be available for a limited time. We have: After Dinner Tea, Winter Flu Fighter, Less Stress Tea and Sweet Dreams Tea available now!
A few other great things to look for
- Dips from Green Table Foods (as sampled at the last pickup) in the 'prepared' section under 'dips and salsas'
- Did you taste the Macarons, Springerle and Florentines from Ambrosia Pastry Co.? They are on the order form now!
- Sauerkraut. Good and good for you! In the 'prepared' section. Awesome warm with sausage!
- Dried Beans - likely the last order until February! Stock up for soups and bean dip!
- Organic Flour from Oak Manor - Holiday baking plans anyone?
- Stock up on your favourite yogurt, apples, cheese and more! Enough for 2 weeks!
- Chicken Thighs from Snyder Heritage Farms are my kids' favourite!
- Traditional Foods has boneless cured ham steaks (Berkshire Pork) for $5.25/lb (Reg. $6.25/lb)

A Message from Rachael:
Among a group of parents and children, one of my favourite six year old boys was visiting today and he fell in love with the McKechnie Nacho Cheese Tortilla chips. I had offered them to the group and after tasting them this boy wanted to buy a bag with his hard earned money - I think the other kids and moms agreed they were pretty tasty too. I've heard that they are like Doritos, but with better ingredients. I keep finding partially eaten bags around the house too. Must be the cat.
We have A LOT of dried beans available for this pickup. We have organic beans grown by Lena Horst and conventional beans from Rounds Beans. Here is some neat bean info:
"A bean's color indicates the organ it most benefits, and so while beans as a category strengthen the kidneys, green-colored beans, like mung beans and split peas, also benefit the liver; red beans, including adzuki and kidney beans, influence the heart; yellow beans, like chickpeas and soybeans, support the spleen and pancreas; and navy, lima, and other white beans energize the lungs and colon. Black beans are doubly supportive to the kidneys. Beans help reduce blood cholesterol, control insulin and blood sugar, lower blood pressure, regulate colon functions, and prevent constipation." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods
Enjoy the sun!

This weekend we're cleaning up the yard and garden and putting the storm windows back on the house. I wish it was a bit warmer, but the sunshine is a nice treat. Put in a quick order while you have time so that you don't miss our ordering deadline!
This is a great week to stock up

- 'Tis the season... With the holidays coming, what better gift than the gift of local! In our gifts section we have a few baskets to choose from, or of you want a custom basket prepared, please talk to us!
Special of the week from Traditional Foods:
From Gayl:
Here is something easy to prepare before we get into holiday craziness in December. Traditional Foods is offering boneless cured ham steaks (Berkshire Pork) that need little cooking for $5.25/lb instead of the usual price of $6.25/lb. We are also introducing pork patties for those of you who like pork ($6/lb) and coming soon for December: Lamb Sausage! Yum!
