Fishy News!
- We received a FRESH FISH order today.
Here's what we got: Rainbow Trout (farmed in Georgian Bay), Lake Trout and White Fish both from Georgian Bay, certified Organic Salmon from Norway and wild caught Haddock from Iceland.
We package the Fish at the store and freeze it right away. Today, Wolfgang was helping with the pricing. He came home early from his Wednesday delivery so we put him right to work.
Upcoming Chicken News:
- On June 26th we will receive our first fresh WHOLE CHICKENS for the year. They are $5.25/lb and come from our usual farmer not far from here. They are raised like a chicken should be raised: lots of space to roam, green grass to pick and sunshine on their back.
Call the Store - 519-725-4282 - if you want your name to be on the CHICKEN LIST. Pre-order is a must!
BEAN NEWS!
A new Bean on the block is the Canadian-grown FAVA Bean. It is $3.29/lb.
Fava Beans are high in fiber and contain folic acid, potassium and magnesium. These versatile legumes can be eaten alone or added to other dishes. Wash dried fava beans thoroughly, soak them, and remove their skin before cooking them.

Chicken Lovers take note:
In our OUTLET we have from Yorkshire Valley Farms:
1kg organic Chicken Wings for $10.00/bag (dated May 27th)
1kg organic boneless Chicken Breast (extra lean) for $25.00 (dated June 27th)
Are you thinking of growing some vegetables this year? Did you know we are selling certified organic garden seeds? We are also selling organic Cow Pots and the Soil Activator Bacteria to make your soil richer and plants more vigorous. All you need to provide is the potting or garden soil from your garden centre or your own garden plot.
Growing plants is a very satisfying activity. It relaxes, grounds our very being and reconnects us with Mother Earth.
Happy gardening,
Almut
As always, we truly enjoy serving you and making the best in organics conveniently, reliably and heartfully available to you!
Wolfgang & Almut
We look forward to serving you with our Organic Home Delivery Service,
