Looking for your
comments
We've expanded our online materials and are now providing maps for you
to share your thoughts about walking and cycling in specific areas in
the City.
On our website (www.rainbowroutes.com ) , we have posted a
series of five area maps which have proposed bike routes and paths on
them. We are looking for any input in regards to both the
classifications and placement of the routes. On each separate map there
is a link to directly e-mail us your input.
We want to know:
Which of the proposed bike routes do you feel should be a priority for
completion and why?
Is there anywhere specifically that you would like to see a bike route
where one is not already proposed?
Are there any routes that you feel are unnecessary?
Are there any specific intersections or streets that you feel need
treatments in order to make walking or cycling a better option?
Please provide any additional comments/concerns you have in regards to
walking and cycling in Greater Sudbury
The maps can be found by clicking on the following link:

Sewage Dumping -- Letter Writing Campaign
to
The Honourable John Gerretsen
Minister of Environment
77 Wellesley St. W., 11th Floor, Ferguson Block
Toronto, ON M7A 2T5
Tel: (416) 314-6790 Fax: (416) 314-7337 Email:
minister.moe@ontario.ca
In response to the 2009 EcoJustice Report, “Flushing Out the Truth:
Sewage Dumping in Ontario”, the Simon Lake Community Stewardship Group
are asking you to join our Letter Writing Campaign to let the Minister
of Environment know that dumping untreated and under-treated sewage into
our watersheds is not acceptable.
You can either send The Honourable John Gerretsen your own letter by
regular mail at the above address, or follow the instructions below to
send him an email on-line:
1. Click on this link
http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/forms/email-form.php?replyRequested=y;
2. Complete the required fields: Your Name; Email Address; Street
Address; City; Province; Country; Postal Code & Telephone Number; and
3. Cut and paste the following letter into the Comment Section:
Dear Minister Gerretsen:
I am writing to express my concern with the recent Ecojustice report
“Flushing Out the Truth: Sewage Dumping in Ontario.” This report reveals
that, during the years 2006 and 2007, Sudbury’s sewage treatment plants
dumped 2.6 billion litres of untreated and under-treated sewage into our
waterways, and was the 4th highest City, by volume, in Ontario, dumping
untreated and undertreated sewage into the natural environment. This was
slightly under the amount dumped by the City of Toronto for the same two
years.
I understand that sewage bypasses are sometimes necessary to prevent
sewage backups; however, untreated and under-treated sewage bypasses
contain many pollutants, including heavy metals, oils, greases, E. coli
and phosphorus. Many of Sudbury’s lakes already bear the effects of past
environmental practices, including mining activity and many decades of
poorly treated sewage discharges. These sewage bypasses can only make
matters worse.
The Ministry of Environment controls what can be discharged from sewage
treatment plants. For the sake of our waterways, please do something
about the sewage dumping from Sudbury’s sewage treatment plants. I am
requesting:
1. a Ministerial Order to require Sudbury and all other Municipalities
to contain these bypass discharges in holding ponds, or some such
measure that will prevent untreated and under-treated sewage from being
dumped into our watersheds, and until such time as the sewage can be
treated;
2. tighter regulations to require municipalities to upgrade their sewage
treatment plants to more environmentally responsible technology;
3. stricter penalties to deter municipalities from dumping sewage into
our natural environment; and
4. the recommendations of the 2009 EcoJustice Report be implemented.
These recommended measures would allow our lakes and rivers an
opportunity to begin to recover to a healthier state.
Sincerely,
Your Name

Eat Local Sudbury Weekly E-Flyer – September 3rd,
2009
Hello everyone,
I have always thought of September as being the perfect time to begin a
new project. The back-to-school season makes me eager to feel like a
student again – and what better way to feel like a student than to learn
to do something new? Why not look into preserving this summer’s
vegetables to last you into the winter? Or how about finally learning
what to do with that kohlrabi or giant squash? The cool air and bounty
of fresh, local vegetables make fall an optimal time to turn over a new
leaf and choose to own your family’s food choices. Buy local, and invest
in your community!
If you, like us here at ELS, are looking for ideas for exciting, new
things to try this month, check out the following events coming up in
the Sudbury area:
Valley East Days
September 11 – 13 at Centennial Arena in Hanmer Beginning with a video

Walden Fall Fair
Saturday, September 12 from 10 – 4 at the Anderson Farm Museum in
Lively. Outdoor activities include: museum tours, antique vehicle
displays, John Deere display, wagon rides by Wagon Wheel Ranch, Snowy
Acre miniature horses, farm animals, giant pumpkin contest, farrier
demonstration (shoeing horses) and horse demonstrations in the paddock
area, the Walden Lions fish pond for kids, and more! See http://www.waldencan.com/community_events.htm
for more information.
Food, Film & Forum

Once a month, the board members and staff at Eat Local Sudbury gather
together for a meeting where we discuss everything from potential new
products, to local events, store business, and our education objectives.
It was during our most recent board meeting that we decided we wanted to

doing at the Co-op. To that end, we are dedicating this week’s e-flyer

The Co-operative Model
Eat Local Sudbury is proud to operate under the co-operative model –
that is, we are a group of citizens, assembled together to meet a common
need. The Co-op is governed by a board of volunteers who generously
donate their time to figuring out the best way to meet the Eat Local
objectives. In addition to the board members and two staffers, the Co-op
is comprised of two kinds of members: eater members, and farmer members.
There are also several subcommittees at work for Eat Local: we have a
subcommittee for Marketing, one for Products, and one for Membership.
For further information on these committees, or to discover how to get
involved, reply to this e-mail with a request to lean more.
Eat Local Sudbury would be nothing without the help of some amazing
volunteers, who round out our team. For more information on volunteering
in any capacity, reply to this e-mail.
Everyone Welcome!
The most common misconception about the Eat Local Sudbury Co-op is that
consumers need to purchase a membership in order to shop at the store.
Although being a member of the ELS Co-op does have certain advantages
(4% off all purchases, with the exception of the fresh produce, and
voting rights at our annual AGM, to name a couple), membership is not
necessary in order to shop at ELS.
Orders
Ordering can be a tricky endeavour for the ELS staff – one week everyone
wants a bottle of Harmony milk, and the next everyone is on holidays and
we’re swimming in the stuff! Because it breaks our hearts to have to
throw anything away, we are always on the lookout for new ways to stay
on top of ordering. We know that standing orders are something that have
been introduced at ELS in the past, and we’re wondering if this practice
shouldn’t be revitalised? If you enjoy a specific perishable food item,
and know that you will be in at regular intervals to purchase this item,
send us a request for it, and we will order it, just for you! Include a
time frame and item name (eg, “I would like one 4 L bag of 2% Farquhar’s
milk every two weeks”) and we can make it a standing order, so that it
will always be here when you want it. If you know that you’re going to
be out of town for a certain week, let us know, and we will cancel the
order for that week. If you have any feedback regarding standing orders,
reply to this e-mail with your questions and/or concerns. Perhaps
filling out an order form each week is something you’d like to do? Or
are you happy with the less formal e-mail approach? Let us know!
Thanks, and see you at the Co-op!

Eat Local Sudbury Weekly E-Flyer – June 12th,
2009
Located at:
28 Durham St (just down the hill from Records on Wheels)
Please note: The end of our street will be under construction from May
4th, 2009 until July 10th, 2009. However, you will still have access to
Durham Street in front of our store, and will be redirected in the
laneway before Beech Street. Hopefully this will not be an inconvenience
to anyone!
Hours of Operation:
Wednesday: 11:00 – 6:00
Thursday: 11:00 – 6:00
Friday: 11:00 – 6:00
Saturday: 9:00 - 4:00
*Free parking downtown on weekdays after 6pm and on weekends. Weekday 2
hour free parking in the municipal lot beside Christ the King Church –
remember to take a ticket!
Hi everyone,
Thank you for bearing with us as we move through this transitional
period. During this period your feedback, as always, is very much
appreciated.
Please consider attending our next Board meeting. All members are
welcome to attend. It will be on Wednesday June 17th at the ELS Co-op
from 7 to 9 pm.
If you or someone you know forgot a set of keys in our store last
Saturday, we have been saving them for you! We are also holding onto a
pair of prescription glasses that have been in the store for about a
month now.
Keep reading for more information on products on sale, new products and
regular products.
Thanks and see you at the Co-op!
See Link for details re: all Products
Hello Eat Local Sudbury
Supporters!
I’m writing today to ask you all to PLEASE BEAR WITH US for the
next few weeks while we undergo some big transitions!
As you know, ELS is a not-for-profit organization that is currently
reliant on government funding. That being said…
Goodbye Sue! We are very sad to say goodbye to Sue, who’s funding
contract has run out as of June 6th. Sue did a fabulous job first as our
Education and Outreach Assistant and then as our interim Project
Coordinator and we will all miss her very much!
Welcome Julia! We are pleased to announce that we have received funding
to hire Julia Lowe as our new Marketing Assistant through the Career
Focus Program. Julia starts work the week of the 12th.
What does this mean? Well, we are still waiting for funding to hire our
next full-time Project Coordinator and our Marketing Coordinator, who
should be in place in July. In the meantime, Julia, our Board of
Directors and our very generous volunteers will have the difficult job
of keeping things running in the store, each on a part-time basis to
share the work. This may mean a few bumps along the road for the next
month – so please be patient with us as we go through this rocky time!
FRESH LOCAL PRODUCE
In other news, we will be back at the Farmers’ Market as of either July
4th or July 11th (depending on availability of produce) where we will
have an outside booth only, selling produce from Dalew Farms in Lavigne
and Loonsong Garden in Little Current, along with produce from a few
other local farmers as well. Yes – the vast majority of the veggies we
sell is grown organically (but without organic certification)! We will
also have local produce for sale at the co-op store on Durham St during
regular store hours.
CONSTRUCTION
Looks like the construction on lower Durham St. will be going strong
until at least July. However, you can still park at the municipal lot
next to Christ the King Church on Beech St FREE (with ticket from the
machine) for up to 2 hours. In addition, the metered parking spots next
to the store and across the street seem (at least to me) to be vacant
more often due to the construction – so I’m finding the parking even
easier lately!! And if you turn down lower Durham and there aren’t any
spots available, you CAN make a left turn down the alleyway that will
lead you out onto Elgin St.
FEEDBACK
While we go through the next month or so, it would be great to have some
feedback from customers and members as to how we can improve. We look
forward to the day when we have some permanent staff and long-term
funding (and that day will be coming soon!) – that’s when we will really
be able to make the co-op store an even bigger success for our
community! In the meantime (and while our new staff is still learning) –
please tell us if there is a product we usually carry that was out of
stock when you visited, or if something else is not up to usual
standards or could be improved. You can tell us in person at the store
or by email at
info@eatlocalsudbury.com.

Earth Day Needs your
Support!
Help us make something happen in Sudbury! We are looking for people to
do all kinds of things at the Festival, from greeters and admissions,
set-up and take-down, helping the bands and vendors, washing dishes, and
much more...
Greeters: Front Entrance (Elm St.): # of people needed: 9 (3ppl/shift, 3
shifts)
Greeters: Side Entrance (Parking Lot): # of ppl needed: 9 (3ppl/shift, 3
shifts)
Greeters: Back Entrance (Elgin St): # of ppl needed: 6 (2ppl/shift, 3
shifts)
YOU are the front line workers of the Festival! Working in teams of 3,
you are responsible for welcoming visitors to the Festival with a smile,
and for collecting the “pay what you can” admission as people enter the
gates. Additionally, you will be provided with clicker counters and
expected to keep track of the number of visitors who come through the
gates.
Information Station: # of ppl needed: 6 (2ppl/shift, 3 shifts)
Working in pairs, you will answer questions about the Festival as best
you can, and give out information to the visitors. Training and
information about answers to commonly asked questions will be provided
to you and further assistance anytime with anything you can't answer.
Bilingualism is an asset.
Rover: # of ppl needed: 6 (2 ppl/shift)
This role has a bit of everything! Tasks are assigned throughout the
day, and as things arise. Areas to monitor include: garbage bins/recycle
bins/compost bins, general tidying (i.e. picking up litter), directing
people to the information station, checking the cleanliness of the
washroom (note that you do not have to clean the facilities), and
refilling the water coolers.
Organics: # of ppl needed: 6 (2ppl/shift, 3 shifts)
Volunteers in this role will be explaining the importance of composting
to Festival visitors. You will be on hand to demonstrate what items are
compostable, what can be recycled, and what goes in the trash. As well,
you will be responsible for collecting used dishes from visitors and
packaging them for the dishwashers.
Dish Expeditor: # of ppl needed: 6 (2ppl/shift, 3 shifts)
In this role, you will be roaming the Festival grounds on the lookout
for used plates, mugs, cutlery, and other dishes and collecting the
items in a crate. Once you’ve collected a full crate, you’ll walk across
the street to the Centre de Sante and deliver the items to the
dishwashing crew. You will then bring back the clean items and deliver
them to the food vendors so they can be re-used.
Dish Washer: # of ppl needed: 6 (2ppl/shift, 3 shifts)
In teams of 2, you will be responsible for the cleaning/sterilizing of
the dishes. Familiarity with an industrial dishwasher unit is an asset,
however, training will be provided. Used dishes will be brought to you
throughout the day; once they’re washed, you’ll give them to the dish
expeditors who will bring them back to the Festival.
Children’s Area: # of ppl needed: 36 to run activities (12ppl/shift, 3
shifts)
The children’s area has many different areas that you can be involved
in. You can be the host at one of the many craft tables, facilitate one
of the interactive games, or be a “rover” where you can be a part of
several different aspects to the children’s area. Bilingualism is an
asset in this area.
As well, volunteers are needed to help set-up the Children’s area on
Friday, and to help with the take-down on Saturday. (5 for set-up
Friday, 5 for take-down Saturday)
General Volunteer Info:
- Shifts run on Saturday from 8-11:30am, 11:30am-3pm and 3-6pm.
- Volunteers get FREE entry to the Festival and are encouraged to
partake in all the activities before or after their shift.
- All volunteers receive a FREE lunch!
- We will provide high school students with a letter outlining their
volunteer involvement with the Festival. When you sign up to volunteer,
let us know that you’ll need a letter
If you want to volunteer, send an email to gsenintern@bellnet.ca with
your preferred shift time, and your top 2 areas where you’d like to
volunteer. We’ll do our best to accommodate your wishes.
Thanks!

The Foodshed Project
has been successful laying the groundwork to start a farming internship
program as a pilot program here in Sudbury this spring. The PDF files of
the poster and the pamphlet are attached.
A little bit more about the program;
The pilot program is a farming internship that will last from the
beginning of May to the end of September (the growing season). We are
looking for 10 young (18-30yrs old) individuals who would like to gain
gardening / farming experience by volunteering at a near-urban (2km from
nearest bus stop in the South End) farm. The 10 individuals will be
given 1/2 an acre to farm on and will be given control over how they
grow and maintain their crops AND they will also be able to take their
crops home for consumption. The interns will also receive regular
workshops on gardening and farming techniques. More information is also
on our website at

PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release
April 2, 2009
La Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario in collaboration with
the Community Committee on the Sudbury Soil Study
presents
Aldermac – Plantation miničre
(Aldermac – Mining Plantation)
Exhibition : Friday April 10 to Saturday May 9
Opening reception: Friday April 10 at 5pm
Artist talk: Saturday May 9 at 3pm
Hours of operation
tuesday to saturday from noon to 5 pm
174 Elgin, Sudbury
For artist Véronique Doucet, presenting the project Aldermac –
Plantation miničre in Sudbury marks the completion of a work of artistic
and environmental research. This research undertaken in 2002 studies the
devastation brought about by the stockpiling of 1.5 million tons of
acidic mining residues in a 76-hectare area. With the help of the
Conseil régional en environnement de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue (CREAT),
the artist fought a determined battle to bring about the environmental
rehabilitation of the Aldermac slag dump at Arntfield, 24 kilometers
from Rouyn-Noranda.
In the multidisciplinary project presented in Rouyn-Noranda, Doucet uses
many different means to inform the public and convince certain
governmental agencies of the importance to act in this matter. She
produced, among others, a series of post cards giving close to 3000
people the opportunity to get involved in a letter campaign.
After many interventions by the artist and CREAT, the latter received a
letter announcing that the site would be rehabilitated. Work estimated
at 16.5 million $ is currently underway.
The Sudbury exhibition contains a pictorial installation presenting a
map of the Aldermac site and of the artist’s travels, an experimental
video documenting the work done by her environmental militia as well as
a series of photos and samples of pH levels in water which document the
artist’s discoveries in her expeditions on the site.
Véronique Doucet is an environmental artist who, through her art and her
political activism, has succeeded in effecting change in her
environment. She holds a B.A. in Art with a major in plastic arts and
minors in arts and sciences from Université de Montréal. Her works have
been exhibited all across Quebec; this is her first exhibition in
Ontario.
Come meet the artist at the opening reception and at the artist talk.
Admission is free and the public is welcome.
Our season sponsors are Radio-Canada | CBON la Premičre Chaîne, Espace
musique | Television | Internet.

WATER DAMAGE AT THE CO-OP
Well, last weekend was quite an adventure at the store! When Lee-Anne
arrived at work, she found that water had been dripping down into the
store. It turns out that someone on a floor above had left a window open
over night and of course a pipe burst. The floor above us had 2ft of
water and there was extensive damage to the building. We got off pretty
light – but we’ve had workers in taking out our front wall. Please
excuse the state of our front wall for the time being – it will be
repaired soon! Also, sorry to anyone who tried to come by on Saturday
and found the store closed – there was an ice-skating rink inside the
store and we didn’t want anyone to get hurt. Everything is OK now, so
come on back!
PRODUCT OF THE WEEK:
We can’t have new products all the time! So I’ve started this regular
feature for the e-flyer. This week we have two outstanding Northern
products we would like to feature:
Terza Farms Flour, Thornloe, ON
This is the only flour (that we know of) made in the North from wheat
grown in the North! If you haven’t tried it yet – now is your chance:
we’ve put Terza Farms flour *on sale* this week.
White flour - $4 small bag, $5.50 large bag
Creamy Wheat ‘n Bran Cereal - $4 small bag, $5.50 large bag
Bran – $2.75 small bag
What do you do with creamy wheat ‘n bran cereal? Here’s my special
recipe for one person’s breakfast in a flash (5 min):
Ľ cup creamy wheat ‘n bran cereal
1 cup milk
Handful of frozen blueberries or other fruit
Maple syrup (to taste)
In a small pot, stir together cereal and milk. Add blueberries and stir.
Heat on medium high, stirring constantly, until cereal comes to a boil.
Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup
and enjoy!
Boreal Birch Syrup, Thunder Bay, ON
We’ve had a lot of questions about this new product! Our wonderful
volunteer Anna took on the challenging task of writing a “review” of
this unique product for us:
“An intensely flavoured syrup, similar to molasses but bolder, spicier
and more complex. As far as flavour is concerned, birch syrup is
completely different than maple syrup. While it can be used on pancakes
and waffles, it is perhaps best reserved for other foods. Here are just
a few ideas:
1. Birch syrup is excellent simply drizzled on soft cheese, as an
appetizer.
2. It can be combined with soy sauce and crushed garlic and used as a
fish marinade. We tried it on perch this winter ("birch perch!") with
great success.
3. Birch syrup can be mixed with olive oil, salt and pepper, drizzled
over vegetables and roasted in the oven.
Ultimately, birch syrup makes a great conversation piece over dinner! Go
to www.birchsyrup.ca for recipes!” - Anna
"While too robust to pour on pancakes, maple syrup's brooding cousin
made its way onto everything from ice cream to cedar-planked salmon"
Eric Velland, Globe and Mail, November 27th, 2008.
"Overall, I really like the Birch Syrup. It is very complex flavour-wise
and would really work with a lot of brown spirits. Think rum and
bourbon. To test this theory I mixed up 1oz of Appleton Master Blenders
Legacy rum with two teaspoons of Birch Syrup and a dash, or two, of
Angostura bitters. Mixed in a glass with four large ice cubes. It really
works well." Darcy O'Neil, Art of Drink, June 14, 2008.
Chef Mark Steele uses it to caramelize squash, which he roasts and then
purées into a soup. "It gives the soup a deep, rich flavour," says
Steele. "We
incorporate it in different dishes." Recently, he used it to glaze
steelhead trout for the catch-of-the-day special." Jennifer Campbell,
Ottawa Citizen, December 15, 2007.

NEW FRIDAY HOURS
Although we have been open from 11:00-9:00 on Fridays to this point, we
find that few people are coming in after our usual closing time of
6:00pm. Therefore, we will be changing our Friday hours to be the same
as our regular weekday hours: 11:00am-6:00pm.
PRODUCTS BY ORDER
Sorry, even though I greatly increased our order of Organic Milk this
month – I still underestimated our customers’ interest! We still have
whole milk and table cream in bottles, but unfortunately nothing else.
If you buy the organic milk and have an idea how many bottles of milk
you might go through every two weeks – please let me know and I’ll be
sure we have it in stock! Next delivery is set for January 23rd.
BISON MIX-UP
For those of you who have been enjoying some very inexpensive bison
t-bone steaks lately, please be warned that the price is soon to go up!
We *thought* that $2.00 a steak seemed odd (!) – when we checked we
found that the butcher had weighed the steaks incorrectly! They have
since taken them back for re-weighing and re-labelling, so they will
soon be back to their regular price. We may be low in stock temporarily
while the mistake is corrected.
*NEW* PRODUCTS THIS WEEK:
Canola Oil – in the large (500mL) bottles. We’ve been out of stock for
awhile, sorry!
Nothing else new, but we have some exciting things coming in shortly…

Many Community Partners help Walden Food Bank!
The Walden Food Bank moved from 3 churches to the Tennis Court Building
on 6th Ave. in Lively in 1998.
The Schools in Walden all organize Food Drives to stock our shelves.
Other community partners help with Food Drives: Greater Sudbury Fire
Department, Greater Sudbury Volunteer Firefighters, Kampana Bells,
Walden Winter Carnival, Tree Lighting at the Anderson Farm Museum, and
the Lively IDA Pharmacy.
We also receive the proceeds from the sale of Christmas Trees at Pine
Hill Lumber.
The Walden Lions also gives us money to purchase supplies from Lively
Kwik Way. This consists of: eggs, margarine, milk and bread.
We also purchase ground beef from Battistelli’s Y.I.G. and various items
we may require.
Because we have a Membership with the Sudbury Food Bank, we can use our
Membership Card to purchase items at National Grocers and receive an
additional 5% discount.
The Churches of the community are also generous with food and money. We
have a weekly pick-up at St. Pius X and Battistelli’s Y.I.G.
And we have some very generous families, who donate throughout the year
and especially at Christmas time.
Each year in March the Walden Food Bank participates in a Canada-wide
Survey called ‘ Hungercount’. The results of this Survey are used to
make the Politicians and the public aware of the number of people using
the Food Banks.
Our General Meeting for Election of Officers and appointment of Board of
Directors and for presenting our financial statement for the year 2008,
will be held at the Food Bank (Lively Field House) on April 30th at 7:00
pm. Open to public.

Well, the good
news is, our new products were very popular! The bad news is, we’re

delivery date will be January 9th. So if you’re looking for
organic milk, it will be back on January 9th.

We accidentally
more than doubled the price of our new Organic Milk in glass bottles

the real price is $4.52/litre! (Plus a $2 bottle deposit that you get

Eat Local Sudbury E-Flyer - Nov 26
Hello Everyone,
I hope this email finds you all doing well!
*News Flash*:
Eat Local Sudbury is thrilled to announce that we have formed a
partnership in our new location at 28 Durham St with the Greater Sudbury
Environment Network (GSEN). Both GSEN and Eat Local Sudbury will have
their offices located in the new space, and we are both working together
to construct an Educational Resource Centre next to the co-op store
where visitors can sit down, browse through our lending library, check
out educational displays and learn about environmental initiatives
happening in our community. The Educational Resource Centre will also
include a space for meetings and workshops and more! This space will be
up and running early in the New Year.
Eat Local Sudbury Co-op Store Update:
Many people (including some very generous volunteers) have been working
very hard over the last few weeks to get the new store at 28 Durham St
up and running – and we’ve come a long way! Things are really starting
to come together. However, we still have some renovations to complete,
so we have pushed back our grand opening to Saturday December 6th. I
hope you can all join us to see our beautiful new space and exciting new
products – you won’t be disappointed! Stay tuned for more information in
next week’s e-flyer.
Volunteer Request:
If you have some free time this weekend, we’re looking for a clean-up
crew. Extensive floor and wall sanding has left everything (and I mean
everything) coated in a thin layer of dust! We’re looking for help
cleaning up, installing trim, helping with construction projects,
cleaning fridges and freezers, pricing products, stocking shelves and
taking inventory. We are looking for volunteers to join us on one or
more of the following dates:
· Friday the 28th anytime between 10:00am and 3:00pm
· Saturday the 29th anytime between 9:30am and 5:00pm
· Sunday the 30th anytime between 9:30am and 5:00pm
If you can spare some time, just show up in clothes that can get dirty!
Donation Requests:
We are still looking for the following:
6-8ft counter to be used as our sales counter (check out). We have some
money to spend on this item and are looking for a good quality piece
with eye-appeal! If you’ve seen anything that might be suitable
somewhere, or have something yourself, please let us know!
See you soon!

Natural Gas Winter Outlook
Natural Gas
Winter Outlook
Market forces and Mother Nature continue to
keep natural gas prices volatile. Prices spiked through the spring
and into the summer months. As of July 23, the price of natural gas
was up 26 percent from January 2, 2008 and up 65 percent from this
time last year. Alliant Energy is currently anticipating natural gas
costs for the upcoming winter heating season to be about 25 percent
to 35 percent higher than last season, but the situation is still
very volatile. For example, at the beginning of July our forecast
was for a 50 percent to 60 percent rise in costs.
The folks at Eat
Local Sudbury would like to say
THANK YOU
to all of you who
have made our first season so successful!! We have had a
great time
at the market and are happy to have met so many wonderful customers,
volunteers and producers. Thank you for your commitment to eating
local!
Our
last
day at the market will be this
Saturday November 1st. We will be closing
shop for approximately
3 weeks,
so come by and stock up on meats, cheeses, preserves, perogies,
vegetables and more – special
sale
prices on perishable items!
The more you buy,
the less we have to move.

BIG NEWS:

progress! Our store hours will include both evenings and weekends.

storefront, a lending library/resource centre as well as a
meeting/workshop space. When we re-open we will be offering some

*NEW* PRODUCTS THIS WEEK:
Brussels Sprouts – well, we actually had these last week, but we sold

under-appreciated vegetable from Dalew Farms! See recipe below.
Fennel – again, we’ve had this before, but many of you are still unsure
about this licorice-flavoured vegetable! I’ve included some recipes
below.

RECIPE CORNER
These are my two “no fail” recipes for Brussels sprouts. They’ve
converted several confirmed sprout-haters.
Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Lemon:
- 2 Tbsp butter (or more!)
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 stalk Brussels sprouts
- Juice from ˝ a lemon
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Remove Brussels sprouts from stalk with a knife and cut in half (unless
they are tiny). Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan or wok on medium
heat. Don’t skimp on the butter – that’s what makes these sprouts so
tasty! Add garlic and sauté for 2 min. Add sprouts to pan and sauté
until tender (but not soft) and browned. Add lemon juice, salt and
pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 1 min or until all liquid is absorbed.
Serve hot.
Brussels Sprouts with Bacon:
- 2-4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 stalk Brussels sprouts
- 2-3 Tbsp red wine vinegar (or to taste)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Remove Brussels sprouts from stalk with a knife and cut in half (unless
they are tiny). Saute chopped bacon in a frying pan or wok over medium
heat for about 2 min, then add chopped onion and sauté until both onion
and bacon are brown. Remove onion and bacon from pan, and pour off all
but 1-2 Tbsp bacon fat. Add Brussels sprouts and sauté in remaining
bacon grease until tender (but not soft) and browned. Add onion and
bacon back to the pan, and add vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook for
another 1-2 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Enjoy!
The following recipe is from www.allrecipes.com:
Baked Fennel with Parmesan:
- 2 fennel bulbs
- 1 Tbsp butter
- ľ cup half and half cream
- ľ cup crčme fraiche (or good quality, full fat sour cream)
- Ľ cup grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400F. Remove “foliage” and stems from fennel, cut off
the base, and remove the core (whiter part) if desired. Slice vertically
(upright) into Ľ inch slices. Melt butter in large skillet over medium
heat. Add fennel and fry for 5 min. Add cream and crčme fraiche and stir
until well-blended. Transfer to shallow baking dish and sprinkle
parmesan on top. Bake for 30 min until top is brown and fennel is tender
when pierced with a fork. Enjoy!

Everyone is welcome and this workshop is entirely FREE! You will also
have the opportunity to order STORAGE VEGETABLES in bulk for the winter,

*VOLUNTEERS NEEDED*

interested, please contact me at

PRODUCTS THIS WEEK:

which! Check out this helpful link on
how to ID your squash.

a mild anise (licorice) flavour and can be eaten raw or cooked. It’s
especially nice tossed in oil and roasted along with other winter

*FOOD, FILM & FORUM –
Thursday Oct 9th*
If you enjoyed last year’s Food, Film
& Forum event hosted by Sudbury Food Connections (formerly the Sudbury
Food Security Network) then join us next Thursday October 9th
from 6:30-8:30pm at Rainbow Cinemas for another great event! The night
will feature canapés made with local food by Ristorante Verdicchio,
award-winning foodie films including
Fridays at the Farm,
Chickens in the City and Recreating Eden, and an informal
discussion forum. Admission is FREE. Please see the attached poster for
more details.
*MORE FREEZER TROUBLES*
Believe it or not, our *other*
freezer malfunctioned sometime between Sunday afternoon and Wednesday
evening and actually began heating up the meat rather than freezing it!
As a result, we have lost all of our pork products and frozen
cranberries. We will be doing our best to try and get more pork for this
weekend, but we may be a little low…And once again, our single working
freezer will be a little over-crowded as a result.
*CRANBERRIES FOR
THANKSGIVING*
It’s a thanksgiving miracle! Although
we lost all of our cranberries in our freezer malfunction; thanks to
Christy we will still have local cranberries in time for Thanksgiving.
She will be picking up *fresh* just-harvested cranberries and dropping
them off at the co-op this Sunday. Get them before they’re gone!
*Looking for a turkey alternative?*
What about:
-
Burt Farms porketta roast
-
Burt Farms pork roast
-
Burt Farms roast beef
-
Gourmet Nippissing Quail
-
