The most rewarding part of sourcing the best food, locally and regionally, is sharing the stories of the producers we meet. If we have not seen you lately, let us give you a quick round up of what Forager Foods has been up to in the last few weeks.
Summer Vegetables – Our friends, the Stutzman family in the North end of Huron County are continuing with their bountiful harvest of traditionally grown, Mennonite market garden. Currently the farm is supplying, green and yellow bean, carrots, greens, zucchini, cukes and more.
We have local garlic courtesy of M. Sully on Mill Rd and the sweetest corn from M. Schilbe on Orchard Line. Now is the best time to visit Foragers for produce.
Prepared Foods: The Forager chef had a brainstorm and married the in-house tomato sauce and the organic cannelloni, topped with 2 year aged Parmesan into a take away dish. The outcome is a ready-to-eat Italian classic made with primarily Forager products. OINLINE
CONTEST: First three persons to reply to this email with a suggestion on how to make Forager Foods better will win a Cannelloni gourmet-to-go family size dish.
Local Gelato: Come and see the selection, over eight! Sorbetto and gelato, made in London, On. Did you know gelato is low fat? Conventional ice cream consists of 15-20% butterfat mainly because they use heavy 35% cream. Coppa di Gelato, Foragers supplier, uses 3% milk and ends up with a butterfat content of 3-5%. That being said gelato is quite dense compared to airy ice cream, so ease up on the portion size, eh?
Sirloin Sundays: Every Sunday at Forager Foods you will find thick sirloin steaks on sale for $5.99 per lb. This is the perfect Sunday bbq. Be sure to slice against the grain with a good marinade.
Winner of the $50.00 MEAT DRAW for August! Congratulations to Martin Thuss of Grand Bend. Martin please visit the store to claim your prize.
