Transferred live Canada-grown lettuces from the grocery store into a container and they're taking root and growing nicely. Can't wait to transfer them out to the garden when it warms up. #canada #buylocal #elbowsup #gardening

The small private #tariffWar: It was extremely easy for the pre-Eastern #shopping not to buy any #USproducts. The hypermarche has even started to sort out some products because people #boycott them. #buyLocal #boycottTrump #buyRegional

Yay!! I got extra cucumbers because we didn't need the fancy cheese and I loooove snacking on cucumbers. The first greens of the year with some spinach. Microgreens, rutabaga, potatoes, carrots and cabbage. And I got some dried chilies!!
Five years ago, Covid kept us home while restaurants and other food businesses looked for ways to stay open. From cookies, to cooking classes to cooked meals, I spoke with three local business owners about those days.
US produce wears out welcome with Victoria, British Columbia grocery store
The store says it has made moves to source all 380 of its fruits and vegetable from non-American growers
“Prior to all of this, one of our most popular spinach was Popeye Spinach. We used to sell 60 to 80 bags a day of that stuff,” said Innis. “In the last week that we had it, we sold two bags. That’s a message.”

@dasgrueneblatt If you want to replace Jim/Jack + Coca Cola, this might be an nice alternative. Not complete Canadian, but Canadian and German works well together. Canadian Club and the colas are available at local „Trinkgut“ the other three at the local „Metro“ (Shop for gastronomy). No need to order from #amazon or #whiskeyde .

Why stop there? We stopped using Amazon and a number of others some time ago, and that was before Bexos became Trump obsessed. Ecouraing people to think about their choices when shopping is very healthy - even before the 'do I need that' question, evrything locally needs to be thought about.

Day 25 of 30 Days of Local Food: The Neighbourhood Group of Restaurants
I spent seven years as a restaurant reviewer, focussing on the experience (the ambiance, service, food). But, in reality, it’s never just about the dining experience (much to the chagrin of those seeking simplistic yums, regressive views of “worthy” food, it-spots, and petulant slams). I think it’s also about the impact on workers, producers, and communities. The Neighbourhood Group is a certified B-Corp, a designation where people are put before profits and sustainability isn't a causewashing catchphrase. And while some restaurants (and chefs) see “local food” as an excuse to bolster inaccessibility, at the Neighbourhood Group, it's about tasty and creative dishes without lofty prices or snooty attitudes.
Restaurants:
Borealis Kitchener : 4336 King Street East, Kitchener
Borealis Guelph : 1388 Gordon St, Guelph
Miijidaa :37 Quebec St, Guelph
Park Eatery : 294 Woolwich Street, Guelph
The Wooly Pub : 176 Woolwich Street, Guelph

Day 22 of 30 Days of Local Food: Mountainoak Cheese
Adam van Bergeijk has been a cheesemaker for more than 40 years. The Dutch farm crisis of the 80s led his family to immigrate to Wilmot Township almost 30 years ago—the land is part of a finite amount of precious, fertile space: once lost, it will not return. Within a few years, he restarted cheesemaking. It wasn’t long before Mountainoak began winning international cheesemaking competitions. Adam, his wife Hanne, and their cheeses are local, national, and international culinary gems.
Mountainoak Cheese: 3165 Huron Road, New Hamburg

Day 18 of 30 Days of Local Food: Eby Manor (dairy)
We’re really lucky to have a safe supply of Canadian milk (and meats and veggies and…). Chances are, if you’re buying fresh milk here, it’s produced by Canadian dairy farmers. Most of the fresh cow milk we get here is from cows that produce milk with A1 proteins, but here in Waterloo, Eby Manor has been producing Guernsey milk (with A2 proteins) for more than a dozen years And I’ve been using it almost as long. Fantastic straight, in tea, and baking, frankly my best homemade ice creams are made with it.
Eby Manor Dairy Market: 1174 Weeby Place, Waterloo
(also available at dozens of independent shops and a few mainstream grocers in Waterloo-Wellington)
