benefits of eating local

As summer comes to an end, we are stocking up on all the delicious summer produce. With the help of a few pickling and canning recipes, we can preserve summer produce through our long, dark Canadian winters. A local and organic summer peach in November? Yes Please!

PS. This is a great time to stock up with our bulk deals to get great deals on local cherries, apricots, blueberries, tomatoes, and pickling cucumbers!
