Love those Vegetables!
Chain Reaction Urban Farm is offering 20 weeks of bulk deliveries of fresh produce to groups (friends, neighbours, workmates) with at least 8 members. The deadline for group memberships is March 31.

Chain Reaction has also set up a Vegetable Academy with tools, methods, and resources to help you grow your own food.


Nuts for Cheese
I made an impulse purchase at Dad’s Organic Market on Saturday – a Smoky Artichoke and Herb Cashew-based Vegan Cheese made in southern Ontario by Nuts for Cheese. On looking at the bill, I discovered it was super expensive (don’t ask!), but it’s so tasty that I may well buy it again. It spreads well, has lots and lots of flavour, and is made from real food not chemicals. I highly recommend it.

Regenerative Organic Certification 
As organic food has become more popular, its production has expanded from small family farms to large multinationals, raising concerns that wide-scale production isn’t sustainable. An alliance is now promoting regenerative organic certification, which requires growers to focus on soil health and carbon sequestration.

From Veggie Food Options to Culinary Education 
Yves Potvin, the founder of Yves Veggie Cuisine is the new owner of Vancouver’s Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts. Potvin plans to increase the focus on nutrition and sustainability at the school. Yves Veggie Cuisine is now owned by the multinational Hain Celestial Group.
