The CSA sent us home with
- 20 red onions
- 32 yellow onions
- 32 shallots
They are now braided & hanging to hopefully finish drying properly so they last a while

PIKNIK.SPOT PROVIDES LOCAL FOOD MAP
Piknik.spot is an online resource for those in Waterloo Region who want to eat locally and support small farmers, restaurants and other businesses. It provides a directory and map view of sources for locally grown or produced food. There are also listings of Community Supported Agriculture programs that help you support local farms.
The website was created by Laurie Varga and Geoff Whittington, a married couple based in Waterloo Region. Varga said they were inspired on a drive down Northfield Drive in Waterloo, where they saw many Mennonite-owned farms with little social media presence.
“We were both kind of excited, and I think that’s what kicked it off initially,” Varga said.
“[W]e want people who either produce, resell or incorporate local food in their activities. For example, they got Eby Manor, they produce cheese and milk and what have you,” Whittington said. “So, we’re going to include [businesses] that produce locally. Then we have businesses like the EcoCafe—they use the milk that Eby Manor produces…,” he said. New listings through the site are mostly acquired from Varga and Whittington driving around the region to look for new farms, finding businesses online and talking to people. However, users of the site can add their own listings that will be submitted for approval to be listed on the site.
“Businesses can claim their locations. They can add more relevant details and manage their own location, things like products they offer, and they can also communicate with [followers]…,” Varga said.
Varga is also a member of the advisory circle for a research project, Towards a Sustainable Food System for All, which focuses on food security and sovereignty in the region. Piknik.spot hopes that providing this directory will address these issues while also contributing to the local economy.
“We are so lucky here in Waterloo to have this rich environment for food production and so many small local farms contributing to our economy,” Whittington said.

Looking for an egg-only CSA delivery in the KW area is a bust so far. I don't need veggies; I grow 'em. What I do need is eggs. And I don't have a car, so what I want is delivery. What's a woman gotta do to get some free-range fresh eggs around here that don't come with so many vegetables it throws me into permanent choice-paralysis?

A Shared Lunch! Vol. 12 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies is about being “in it” together, so we thought we’d follow that ethos and share our lunch with you… Or actually, our authors’ lunches.
Elaine Power starts it off with her shared lunch: “A bowl of squash, parsnip and carrot soup, made from my last CSA veggie box of the year, with Aleppo chilies on top; a local Honeycrisp apple; and some Manchego cheese.”
There are certainly some shared sensibilities between Power’s lunch and her responses to the CFS Choux Questionnaire. But why take our word for it? Read, and find out: https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v12i3.775

Just signed up for a #CommunitySupportedAgriculture #CSA farm box to support local farmers and boost resilience in my community! Each week, I receive fresh organic fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and in return, the local community gets more food security. Way tastier than store bought since it's local which means it's actually ripe! If you want to eat healthier and help create more #resilientcommunities, I highly recommend giving it a try! 🍏🥦🍄 https://www.localharvest.org/

CW: Online event 12th June about "Soil health and EU competitiveness"
I received this invitation. (comments at the end)
------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,The first part of the 5th EUSO Stakeholders Forum will be an online event on 12th June, focussing on the topic "Soil health and EU competitiveness". During this event, case studies from the private sector will show how healthy soils can promote competitiveness in terms of the three pillars:
a) closing the innovation gap
b) decarbonisation and competitiveness
c) reducing excessive dependenciesThe event includes presentations from the biotechnology sector, agribusiness, banking-financial sector, remediation industry, start-ups, carbon farming, development of clean products and retail industry.
More information as Agenda, Speakers and Registration can be found in the page:
https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/euso/5th-euso-stakeholders-forum
Kind Regards,
Panos PANAGOS, PhD.Scientific/Research Officer
Project Leader of EU Soil Observatory (EUSO)-----------------------------------
My thoughts:
Ok, we need urgently more awareness about soils. We need more #OrganicAgriculture, #RegenerativeAgriculture, #AgroecologicalTransition, #CommunitySupportedAgriculture and much more. What we *definitely* don't need, is a meeting with NOT A SINGLE FARMER, but people from Syngenta, Bayer, Nestlé and a bunch of other industry representatives to allow them to show that they are trying soo hard to protect our environment while they do everything they can to sabotage meaningful policy changes. Venture capital funded Start-ups and old villains are definitely not the structural change the agrifood-system needs.Maybe it will still be an informative event, who knows.
Thank you for listening.

Continuing the spicy theme: chilli pepper jam.

Step one in making super tasty hot sauce: fermenting the chili peppers in a 4% salt brine.

A while ago (I won't confess how long ago) I put a jar of minced Lila Luzi ( https://fryd.app/en/library/plants/7588-chili/varieties/1560-peperonililaluzi ) in the pantry to ferment in a 3% salt pickle solution.
Today I processed the long fermented mash with some onion, garlic, sugar and apple cider vinegar into a delicious flavourful and spicy hot sauce that builds up and hits you when you no longer expect it.

Sixth week of harvesting hot peppers in the greenhouse of our #csa and stringing them with cotton yarn, so we can hang them to air dry in the nice dry & warm entry hall (thanks inverters!).
We will be set for the winter 😊

I feel so inordinately lucky that I live in a community that has a cheese CSA. I can even get fresh eggs as an add on! #CommunitySupportedAgriculture #cheese #CSA #PNW #OlyWA #OlympiaWA #EatLocal

The downside of being part of a self-harvest #CSA farm is that sometimes you have a lot of work.
Like today, shelling dry beans fo freeze them (kill bugs) & then put them in jars for the winter (dry, not canned). I spent about 2.5h shelling beans, total about 4.5kg of dry beans.

Mondays deserve fancy dinners too.
Green tomato ricotta tart (recipe: https://sadedoes.org/2020/11/10/green-tomato-ricotta-tart/) since the farm cleared out the greenhouse and there were some green tomatoes available.

My #CSA share from Hearty Roots Farm this morning was bountiful: savoy cabbage, shishito peppers, poblano peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, peaches, potatoes, leeks, kale, pears, and organic eggs (some are blue!). I split my share with my friend/neighbor, so this photo shows only half of what we got. There were also beets, but I hate beets. My friend got them all.

About 10 years ago the farming community in my area did an experiment. They created a community supported agriculture (CSA) group where they grew grains, (oat, rye, wheat) and a few other things with money contributed to them ahead of time, then transported the products up the lake where we live by sail boat to a distribution centre in the larger town.
There were all kinds of problems but they managed to do it for at least 3 years. The concept folded because of people being unaware of how hard it is to do something like that, the sailors didn't understand transporting food, some of the grain products weren't winnowed and cleaned to the liking of the consumers and many consumers didn't realize what they were getting into needing dry airtight storage and tools like grain grinders to make flour and needing to take the time to sort over grain like that before grinding.
BUT, it was proven that it could work with better planning and management. I think eventually, when the need is greatest, all involved will do it again when expectations are lowered and knowledge is greater. I participated in it and since then have been buying grain and grinding it myself for flour.

Today I’m catching up on #domesticity in general. Cooking, cleaning, tidying.
I’m making a thing called “tamale pie” which is basically a bastardised chili con carne with lots of random veggies in it, and cheesy polenta on top a la shepherd’s pie. My housemate who “doesn’t like Mexican food” loves it — though this is, of course, in no way surprising as this is a long way from actual Mexican food 😂 I’m going to bake a few of them in smaller pans and freeze some.
My #kombucha has got into a state of extreme sourness with the hot weather, so I’m feeding it lots of sweet tea and drinking as much as I can to keep making room for more.
I’ve got the #slowcooker on with a batch of pork bones (from my ethical/sustainable meat CSA (#CommunitySupportedAgriculture), onion, ginger, and star anise, to make an Asian-style pork stock that I freeze in batches the right size to make an easy bowl of noodle soup whenever I want.
And I’ve got milk that needs using, so I’m going to go pick up a cauliflower and make cauliflower #MacAndCheese, again a big batch, and freeze some of it.
I might have to shift some stuff around in the freezer to make room… wish me luck!
