Cape Locally Grown:  Happy New Year!


Buy LocalHappy New Year! We hope your Christmas was great and you’re having a happy new year in 2015!

As we are looking at seed catalogs, tree nurseries and poultry hatcheries, we all are looking forward to a great new year and to an increase in both quantity and diversity in your local food supply. It has been challenge to grow food in the winter, but we are learning to do the things necessary to take one step at a time. We thank you for your patience!

Take a look at our offerings this week. We welcome The Hughey Homestead offering unique organic food products to our list of growers.

Let us hear from you! We want Cape Locally Grown to meet the local food needs of our community, but we need your feedback. Let us know what is working or not working in your experience with us. Your responses are confidential and we promise not to cry from constructive criticism!

Thanks again and thanks for supporting your local growers and artisans!

Old99Farm Market:  OLd 99 Farm, Week of Dec 28 2014


The last post of 2014! And it’s still green outside. I saw a couple of blooms on the forsythia bush outside my window.

The offerings are still plentiful here at the farm, greens, eggs, meats, root vegetables and some homecooked delights from Camelia. Check the website for details.

I’m using the list to get the word out about The People’s Platform project of HAmilton Civic League.
http://www.peoplesplatform.ca/news/making-every-voice-count-a-town-hall/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/info&id=12&reset=1
Here is our first opportunity in 2015 for Hamiltonians to network with like-minded neighbours:

Norman Kearney of The People’s Platform is organizing a town hall meeting for Tuesday, January 20, 2015 from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 71 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON L8P 4Y5.

The meeting is titled “Making Every Voice Count” and its themes are direct democracy and social justice. Maria Antelo of the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic is the moderator. Norman wrote,

“I have already invited organizers of the participatory budgets in wards 1 and 2, and I will be presenting a review on The People’s Platform. I have also extended an invitation to community development workers who are involved with the neighbourhood hubs. I would like the event to emphasize the voices of residents, rather than staff and elected officials, since direct democracy is about fostering active participation of amateurs, whereas representative democracy emphasizes the roles of experts and professionals. . . . We very much want this event to have a spectacular and diverse attendance so that it sends a clear signal to City Hall: the people of Hamilton want and are ready for a say in planning and spending decisions. . .”

I can commend an excellent book to you, The Once and Future Great Lakes Country, about the ecohistory of our incredibly benign and fertile geography and what changes have occurred over millenia due to human and climatic influences. The auther is John L Riley, sr science advisor at Canadian Nature Conservancy and much more. He’s a heavy hitter in the conservation/sustainability movement.
