November Celebrating Local Community Building

28/11/2017

November has certainly been a busy month for community building and  celebrating local food.

I am going to start with a great project that we were lucky enough to be involved in with the Township of   Leeds and Thousand Islands. The Healthy Kids Community Challenge enabled a group of kids to take a 10 week cooking class with Chef mark and helpers Cara and I. Together the kids developed a menu, experienced local food, tasting and creating along the way. After the 10 weeks the kids put on a meal for a group of lucky guests. This was such a great experience and we heard from more than one student that they "didn't know cooking was going to be so much fun”. What a great feeling to be able to watch kids try eating and cooking things for the first time and see their satisfaction and surprise when they finish creating a special dish on their own.
​ The cooking classes sparked some ideas of our own for March Break Farm to Table Cooking Classes so we will let everyone know when this idea ends up in print.

Just last Friday we got to cater a farm to table lunch at the townships Tourism Summit in Lansdowne which saw a host of interesting speakers and area businesses networking. This was a great opportunity for both new and established businesses to put their heads together and work out ways to promote the fantastic area we live and work in.

This weekend, Saturday , December 2nd  Lyndhurst and Seeley’s Bay Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the area SHOP and HOP . A great way to support local, receive giveaways, treats, prizes, plus get some holiday shopping done. After head on over to the town of Delta and celebrate the season with Christmas carols, wagon rides, meals, Delta mill and a stroll through the park to enjoy the lovely display of lights.

Throughout the month we have had the great pleasure of hosting themed supper clubs and cooking classes at Furnace Falls Farm with the focus on bringing people together with local food. This is a great way for new people in the area to meet others or just to get together with friends and relax without the mess and stress. We look forward to hosting your business dinner parties or family get-together in the holiday season and the New Year. Lets bring back those old fashioned traditions of big meals and lots of laughter in a farmhouse kitchen setting. Call us to reserve your party today 613-928-2477. 
​
The community spirit is definitely alive in this area , thanks to all involved to make it a place to be proud of.
Have a great Week
            &
Thanks for supporting local producers

I have always been focused on providing quality products and providing customer service with a smile.
