A message from Rachael:


That was quick. In less than a week we'll be enjoying great local food again. Our first Friday pickup!!

Did you realize that next weekend is Mother's Day? If you have a mother in your life to celebrate (or remember), consider local treats from our suppliers.

Clark Takes on the World -
http://clarktakesontheworld.eflea.ca/
We have donated a few prizes in support of a local family and their special son. We encourage you to take a look and bid on any items you like! Consider sharing the auction with your social networks.
Bid at http://clarktakesontheworld.eflea.ca/ until Thursday May 8th at 10pm.

We have a few notes from our suppliers:

From Mat's Fine Oils - $1 off your next bottle of oil purchased when you return an empty bottle (preferably unwashed!) . "To discourage the throw away mentality of our society I am offering $1 off the price of a bottle of oil in exchange for the old bottle. We are now recycling the bottles."
From Torrie at Warner's Farm:
"We had a long cold winter, as I assume you did. There is damage to the peach buds, however, we don't need all the buds to make a crop, some varieties will have a full crop potential, others not.
Other fruits aren't hurt by the winter cold, however, after the huge crop of 2013, we can't expect another huge crop, a more normal crop is expected.
The spring has been cool, delaying bloom, and likely delaying harvest."
From Stemmler's Meats:
Prices are very volatile. We have adjusted prices for pork and beef and expect that chicken prices will be affected too."We expect that this will continue for at least a year. Possibly longer. The commodities inventories are at record historic lows. Not since the 50's have we seen this kind of inventory numbers in Canada. We are working hard to find the suppliers to keep pricing under control."

Look for:
  • Spring dug Parsnips and Jerusalem Artichokes from Nith Valley. I hear they are sweeter in the spring!
  • Martin's Apple Chips with Chocolatey drizzle. Have you tried them yet?
  • Congratulation to Grainharvest on 25 years of baking! Celebrate with their new Cheese and Herb Pretzels!
  • Harrington Lane Farms has a new lamb sausage called "Sheep In the Meadow" and it is spiced with organic rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley and mint.
  • Large Duck Eggs and Sheep milk are new from Harrington Lane Farms also!
  • Lard  available! Harrington Lane Farms now has 750 mL jars for $3.50 and you can even get duck lard from Top Market Meats!
  • Barrie's Asparagus has new BBQ sauce and mustard for your grilled foods!
  • Liege Waffles and Lavender Marshmallows from Ambrosia Pastry
  • Stemmler's all beef wieners. Heat them in a frying pan after cutting on a diagonal. Serve with toothpicks and maybe even ketchup
  • Cheese. We have so much awesome cheese. From Gordon's Goat Dairy cream cheese to Millbank's Colby and Monterey Jack, Local Dairy's Mozzarella, Mountainoak's Farmstead to Monforte's fresco, I could feed them cheese daily in so many ways!
  • Have you ever made a grilled cheese sandwich with jam? Try it and you might not go back. Choose your favourite bread from Grainharvest or Golden Hearth (We're so happy to have them back!) and your favourite cheese then a spoon of your favourite jam from Black Market Preserves, Lena Horst or From These Roots and make a taste sensation you'll love!
  • Wash your meal down with Golden Guernsey Milk from Eby Manor or some juice from Waterloo Juice Cartel
  • Yogurt (from Mapleton's, Local Dairy, Organic Meadow or Monforte) drizzled with maple syrup from Snyder Heritage Farms! Mmmm...
  • My kids like the super tasty tortilla chips from Taco Farm and Spud's finest potato chips from Barrie's Asparagus as a snack too!
