Learned about nut production and chatted with a couple of nut roasters who make such tasty treats.

Canada's largest food can maker opening new $80M facility in Chatham A former packaging plant in Chatham will be back in business producing hundreds of millions of cans, thanks to a Quebec company.

Good news for food in Ontario!
The Chatham Daily News reported that Canada’s largest food can maker is opening a new $80M facility in Chatham. And good news for steelworkers, as it will use Cdn steel.

A bushel of plum tomatoes. So perfect.

And here I thought I’d have a weekend to myself and I bought a half bushel of locally-grow tomatoes to can. The issue: I don’t have a weekend to myself.

A half bushel of pickling cucumbers in my back seat.

My trolley: a half-bushel of pickling cucumbers, some courgettes, rainbow carrots, green and yellow beans, baskets of blueberries and peaches, a gorgeous cauliflower, dill, and a bag of mushrooms.

Guess who’ll be jamming and pickling this weekend?

If you heard me this morning, you know it’s #FoodDayCanada weekend. After the broadcast, I went up to Herrle’s and got a trolley of fresh, local/Ontario fruits and veggies.

The snow is good for the fields - we'll just keep reminding ourselves that all that extra nitrogen makes for a great fertilizer.....❄️❄️
