A quick reminder to got your order in. If you are celebrating Easter, this pickup is the Monday before Easter Weekend so you can get food for your family meal or some tasty treats including chocolate from Anna Tolazzi for your favourite bunny love (adults like chocolate too!). Even if you are not on facebook, you can see photos of what is available at https://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=348354&id=73910308689&l=850b60a85e (yes, it was an easy way to post them!). Chris is one of our volunteers and she suggested the chocolate postcards as an awesome teacher gift - for the french teacher especially.
Also, remember that you need to order for 5.5 weeks! We promise that there will be AMAZING fresh, new items at the end of May and we can't wait either.
In the mean time please do visit the Kitchener Market, St Jacob's Market, Oak Ridge Acres, Barrie's Asparagus, Herrle's, Seven Shores and all the other amazing places where you can buy local food and support the amazing movement in this region!
Anna from The Nutty Bakers called today and asked if I had received any feedback on the vegetable roll samples she gave out at the last pickup. Please do let us know what you think of them and we'll pass your feedback on to Anna!
Have a great week!

Bailey's Buying Club - Ordering for Monday April 18th still open!
Click http://baileyslocalfoods.ca/ordering to log-in and order. Ordering closes at 8:00 pm on Tuesday, April 12th.
Please be sure to read the wavier on our website when you log in. It reminds you that items placed your shopping cart are automatically saved (there is no 'checkout' button).
Items you order are to be picked up at First United Church on Monday April 18th between 3:30 PM and 7:00 PM. Ordering will end on Tuesday, April 12th, 2011 at 8:00 PM
***Please note - Our last MONDAY pickup is April 18. Weekly Friday pickups will resume May 27th! Please order enough for 5 weeks!!
An email from Rachael:
Hi Local Eaters!
Ordering is open for just over a week more. This will be our last monthly pickup and there will be a 5 1/2 week break before we resume on May 27th for weekly Friday Pickups! Make sure you order enough yogurt, carrots, meat, cheese, butter and other great products that store so well! We look forward to the asparagus season when we get back to weekly pickups. Mmmmm!
This Sunday April 10th I (Rachael) will be interviewed on The Food Show with Andrew Coppolino on 570 News sometime between 12 noon and 1 pm. This interview will help promote the How and Why of Local Food event being held Saturday April 16th from 9 am to 11 am at the Kitchener Market. Tickets for the event are $10 and can still be purchased by contacting women@glencairn.ca or 519 579-1646.
A few other things you might like:
Before ordering closes the price for Oak Manor grains and flours need to be adjusted - Prices will be slightly higher. Once the adjustments are made, I will email THOSE WHO HAVE ORDERED so that they are aware of the new prices. I am including the message from Perry below.
I am sure you are aware of all the increases in commodity prices and fuel etc... This obviously has an effect on all of us, so, we have a marginal price increase effective immediately. I anticipate that over the next 6 months that some commodities will continue to increase while others will stabilize. Let’s hope that fuel prices don’t go too high. But I guess that’s why we do the local thing, for the lesser impact. I would shudder to be bringing in my grain fro the prairies at this time. The freight is a killer!
Thank goodness local food does not have to travel very far!
We'll send another email on Monday to remind you that ordering is coming to a close.
Enjoy the sun!

Oh WOW, is Spring ever great! Sure, it doesn't look like it outside today, but it was warm enough on Tuesday for a nice walk without too many layers and the snow is keeping all the bulbs and perennials warm until the weather cooperates.
Last Tuesday (before the crazy snow) we spent a lot of the day outside. We raked the leaves on the boulevard back onto the flower beds, fixed the hoop house so that it was covered again after some bitter winter wind blew the plastic off and we peeked. Under the leaf mold (not so gross as it sounds - just the layer of leaves on the garden beds) there was mint and lavender, lovely strawberry leaves too! In the herb garden the parsley was still pretty green.
Another awesome thing about Spring is all the great food that is making a comeback! We had salad greens from Paul Bowman Tuesday with dinner and they were amazingly sweet. The grape tomatoes from Floralane are like candy! Asparagus will be coming in May!
Paul wanted to send his apologies for the size of the green garlic. As we progress into the season they will only get bigger.
Planning for Easter
Easter is rather late this year. I am hoping spring will make it in time to have an outdoor egg hunt. Traditional Foods has ham roasts available for your Easter dinner. Krista, of From These Roots has put her Apricot Honeysuckle Jam and Cranberry Amaretto Jam on sale. Both make a great condiment for ham.
Here are two recipes from Krista::
Easter Ham Apricot Honeysuckle Glaze
Speaking of Easter, instead of using commercial dye for your eggs try boiling them in local yellow or red onion skins, or for a vibrant red colour use beets. Enjoy all the egg salad afterward! We hope that there are enough eggs for everyone this month!
Katharina sent along a beautiful selection of Easter chocolates for display on Monday. Did you have a chance to look at them? They will be added to the offering list in the next day or so. Don't forget to order you and your family some lovely treats from Anna Tolazzi. She needs the orders early as they are time consuming to make, so please order these first as we'll have to cut off orders for the chicks, hens and bunnies before the rest of ordering closes. Photos will be posted on our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/baileyslocalfoods soon!
Bailey's will be attending and sponsoring many events over the month of April. Earth Day and Spring inspire many organizations and groups to host wonderful local events. Check out these:

Here are two recipes from Krista::
Easter Ham Apricot Honeysuckle Glaze
- Heat 1/2 cup of From These Roots Apricot Honeysuckle Jam in a sauce pan
- over medium heat
- Add 2 tbsp of Dijon Mustard and 3/4 tsp of ground ginger until well blended.
- Remove from heat and brush glaze in during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
- Place a baked ham in a large dutch oven or crock pot and cover with Ontario apple juice and a sprig of rosemary and simmer at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes per pound.
- Remove ham and drain 2 cups of juice into a small sauce pan and reduce with 2 tbsp of Apricot Honeysuckle or Cranberry Amaretto Jam until thick.
- Spread over ham and bake in oven for 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool before serving so juices will settle and use remainder of the glaze as a condiment.

An email from Rachael:
Happy Spring!
Today we raked some of the lawn, walked to gymnastics and celebrated Spring with an inaugural visit to DQ (brrr!) A great way to celebrate the equinox!
Now I've realized that I don't have anything in my shopping basket and need to order some of the staples we rely on. I know I've missed out on spinach and eggs, but I'm hoping for some spontaneous items just like many of you are!
A few changes since the last time I sent the email and some nudges too:
Last chance for orange carrots - We have 400 lb available from Cedar Down Farm in Neustadt - These will be the last of the organic orange carrots for a while and they should store well in your fridge!! Some of the last organic apples from Apple Creek Farm too! The end of last year's Amber syrup from Snyder Heritage farm is on the order form. All the rest of the varieties should be this year's new crop!
There is still lots of salad mix that should be available. It lasts well in the fridge so get enough for 3 weeks! 100 mile organic spelt bread from Golden Hearth for the ultimate truly 100 mile bread

Hi Local Eaters!
Ordering is open for just over a week more. We've made this ordering period a bit longer so that those who enjoy March Break can still get an order in! If you are going somewhere tropical enjoy the local fruits that we can`t grow here and maybe bring some back for the rest of us!!! Have you ever tasted a local banana allowed to ripen on the tree? They are completely different than an imported banana!
Stand up for our Farmers
Kelly is one of our Buying Club Members and she emailed me a few days ago (March 4th) and asked that I share information about the moratorium on Genetically Modified Alfalfa. I would write more, but her note is concise and links to lots of information.
Country Flavour items by the case!
Just a note to let you know that this is a great time to order cases of items that you love! We will be able to offer Country Flavour items by the case this pickup so stock up on peaches, jam and more!
A few other things you might like:
Locally Milled Gluten Free Flours
I included a teaser last month about the gluten free flours now available from Jamestown Mills. You can get certified GF Sweet Potato Flour that is made from locally grown sweet potatoes. Did you know that Sweet Potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, vitamin A, iron, potassium, are high in fibre and have a low glycemic load? One bag contains over 9 lb of raw sweet potatoes and it's easy to substitute this flour for 10% of any recipe you choose!
We are also offering their chickpea flour, which while not grown locally are are a very good source of fibre, folic acid and manganese as well as sorghum flour is an excellent source of dietary fibre, protein, phosphorous and iron.
There are recipes on their website at http://www.jamestownmills.com.
Seed Starting kits to grow your own garden!
Sarah's Kitchen Gardens (formerly Sarah's Seedlings) is offering seed starting kits and has written about them at http://sarahskitchengardens.com/?s=seed+starting+kit. She has done all the work so that you buy one kit instead of lots of seeds.
Each kit includes:
Also, if you haven't yet seen Sarah's pins they are super cute! A set of 3 include 'Oh Snap', 'Full of Beans', and 'Tomato Lover'. You can see them for yourself on Sarah's site at: http://sarahskitchengardens.com/2011/01/new-pin-designs/
Some sad news from Pfenning's.
We received news earlier this week that Wilhelm Pfenning passed away. Please keep the entire Pfenning family in your thoughts at this difficult time.

If you would like to order fudge please contact Nicole directly at n.rzadkowski@gmail.com. The company that makes the fudge is in St Jacobs and it's called The Fudgery.

Kelly is one of our Buying Club Members and she emailed me a few days ago (March 4th) and asked that I share information about the moratorium on Genetically Modified Alfalfa. I would write more, but her note is concise and links to lots of information.
My name is Kelly and I am a member of your buying club. I am so thrilled to be able to support my local farmer and get excited over the abundance and variety of the beautiful food we have in Ontario. I have become an advocate of keeping our food supply safe and was wondering if you would be willing to help spread the word.
I am including a link to an email I received today from CBAN. A motion was tabled in parliament yesterday calling for a moratorium on the approval of genetically modified alfalfa in Canada. It is imperative to our farmers that this moratorium happen!
I am hoping that you would consider sending this to other Bailey's members so as a community we may raise awareness and work together to keep our food supply safe and protect the livelihood of our farmers. The link has a great cartoon and the info is well explained.

Just a note to let you know that this is a great time to order cases of items that you love! We will be able to offer Country Flavour items by the case this pickup so stock up on peaches, jam and more!
A few other things you might like:
- Golden Hearth Baking - They're baking especially for us on Mondays and and even increased the number of loaves they'll bake (but only so many fit in the oven)
- Gordon's Goat Dairy - for exceptionally creamy goat cheeses made from the milk of their own goats.
- Mmmm tortillas from McKechnie! Great to wrap up your lunch or enjoy the chips smothered in chili and cheese! I just added their new 10" LARGE wheat tortillas to the order form too if you`d prefer more stuffing inside!
- Monforte cheese - I still need to add some more varieties so keep checking back! Chipotle Cheddar is one of the new varieties now available.
- Nutty Bakers - Anna is introducing a few new items and wants to visit and let you taste her lasagna and new pies on the 28th! Look for two new pies that are the Nutty Bakers` own creations. Cajun pulled pork with pork from their farm as well as Chili 'n Cheddar, ground beef chili with cheddar on the pastry.
- NEW CROP Maple Syrup from Snyder Heritage Farms. Mother Nature has to play along to make sure we have the amazing sweetness that you love. For those of you who like amber syrup, it will be available eventually also
- BULK Organic Beef from Vibrant Farms is still available. There is a bit of a wait for this as it is custom butchered, so order soon if you want some great grilling and roasting meat!

In 1981 Wilhelm and Barnhild Pfenning came from Germany to begin farming in Canada. That was the beginning of Pfenning's Organic Vegetables. In a time when there was little demand for organic produce, they understood the importance of health and the harm from chemicals in our food. Time has passed and increasingly consumers share these ideas.
On March 7, 2011, just two days before his eighty-first birthday, Papa died in his sleep on vacation in Cuba. Everyone who knew him is bereft. We will miss his wisdom, work ethic, integrity and strength. And we will always remember his example.Local Fudge For Sale!

from Maryrose:
Hello Folks,
I feel like I have just recovered from Monday's pick up. Thanks for your patience throughout the busy day. My fridge was begging for some local food. Six weeks was a long wait. Thank goodness we only have to wait four weeks this time. That reminds me - two more Monday pick ups left. We will be moving back to Fridays in May.
Our farmers are eagerly awaiting the spring to get their fields growing for us. Most of their stocks are out or running low. It has been very exciting to add new items to the offering list this week instead of only removing items. It looks like we are at the end of the squash. There are very few left compared to the surplus we have had all winter.
Caprese Salad
2 tomatos sliced (Floralane)
1 ball Fiore Di Latte - Fresh Mozzarella (Local Dairy)
Fresh basil leaves sliced (Pfennings)
Drizzle olive oil & balsamic vinegar (you could use sunflower oil and one of the infused vinegars if you want to keep it local)
Minced garlic, salt & pepper to taste.
Arrange the slices of tomato and cheese. Place slices of basil through out the plate. Drizzle both olive oil and vinegar. sprinkle on garlic, salt and pepper.
It's Maple Syrup Time at Snyder Heritage Farms!
Things about our syrup and what we do.
P.S. - Maple Syrup is a pure sugar. All that has been removed is water!

- I tried Anna Tolazzi's new white chocolate and cherry bar today. She has named it "Snowbird" and it is amazing - I highly recommend it. She is amazing at pairing flavours. I wish I had that ability.
- Paul Bowman has fresh green garlic. It is similar in size to a green onion, but with a garlic flavour. He also has many more greens available.
- Apple Creek has some frozen elderberries available. Makes a great Cordial! You can find them in the 'other' section.
- The stewing beef from Vibrant farms is still on sale!
- For all those who have missed out on eggs over the last few months, we have good news. New chickens have arrived at the Traditional Foods farms this month. This means more eggs for us!
- I also spoke with Stewart from Floralane on Wednesday. He confirms all of their greenhouse tomatoes will be available for our March pick up. I can't wait to make a Caprese Salad. Here is the recipe:
