This is how to eat local!
Our team at freshalicious has been working very hard to get our “freshalicious freeway”- The North American eat local Resource Center up and running this spring for our members and our “eat local” vendors. This is the place to connect you with your local food and get to know how much is grown and produced in your backyard. Why not know where your food comes from and the value of supporting your local farms and your community.
We area adding new eat local resources daily, a full page of fabulous information about our “eat local” vendors with live links to their websites. We are creating a space for all ages that is fun to use and educational. Please visit the freshalicious freeway, join for “FREE” as a member and start sourcing local in your community today!
Share with all your friends and foodies what we are doing to make living local easier for everyone. Shopping local can be as easy as buying your chickens and eggs off the farm, visiting the local farmers markets to get your mushrooms and produce. Stopping in at K2 Milling and buying local and organic flour and/or connecting with Red Prince Apples – Canada’s Premium Winter Apple that is still deliciously available until the end of July. Fresh like it was picked yesterday!
Ontario Natural Food Co-Op is helping get locally grown, organic foods to Ontario Tables like tomatoes, tomato sauces, spelt pizza dough, soups, tofu, Ontario fish and more! A healthy and tasty addition to moms kitchen!
