Two thought-provoking public forums are happening this week in St. John’s and Corner Brook to make the connection between global and local food security. Get the global picture from Robert Fox, Executive Director of Oxfam Canada and then hear about local issues from Kristie Jameson (Executive Director of the Food Security Network NL) in St. John’s and Chan Wiseman (Chair of Newfoundland and Labrador Young Farmers’ Forum) in Corner Brook.

These cookies don’t need a lot of explanation- they’re just plain awesome. If you make them you may want to keep them secret like your favourite blueberry picking spot, or they won’t last long. [...] 
Fish harvesters and consumers alike are looking for new ways to supply consumers with fresh local food while supporting harvesters with a fair income. Join us for this exciting teleconference on Sept. 21 to learn about fisheries and food security, Community Supported Fisheries (CSFs), and other sustainable seafood marketing alternatives. [...] 
When you garden in the city, you take your sunshine where you can find it. I have a tiny postage-stamp of a front yard, and a decent-sized back yard (for downtown). Neither one of them gets full sunlight, but from mid-June on the front yard gets blazing, baking afternoon light that vegetables seem to love. I had forgotten this when I started my garden this summer. Slowly [...]

I managed to get over to my favourite u-pick here in St. John’s last week. I picked and picked and picked and came home with far more strawberries than I could possibly eat. Which was just fine, because these berries were destined for the jam pot. My husband and daughter both love strawberry jam. I, on the other hand, am not entirely crazy about it. Since I had such a [...] 
We have entered the season of plenty. So much to write about, but all of my time is being taken up with hikes and gardening. Here are a few bits and peices of information to chew on. In this post, you’ll find info on dandelions, lambsquarters, roses, fireweed, and crowberry. [...] 
Spectacular vistas, whales breaching, ice bergs floating by, and a foragers paradise. We are blessed with many wilderness areas that offer abundant edible plants. I rarely go on a hike without stopping to have a little taste of this or that. In this post, I will touch upon some of the edibles currently available in our wonderful wilderness. [...] 
Love, love, love this time of year when strawberries are in season! Strawberries, like most berries, are versatile for use all year round. My mouth waters thinking about jams, baked goods, fresh berries on cereal, frozen berries in smoothies, and it goes on and on. If you’re thinking about taking the one-year local food challenge that Andreae proposed in her recent post, then berries are where it’s at. Stock your freezer and your canning shelf with lots of berry-filled goodies and eating locally in mid-winter won’t be a chore. [...] |
