The Wednesday Fresh Foods Link Up Week #12

...And we're back up and running lovelies!

As I mentioned in the previous post, moving across the country has taken a toll on me over the past 3 weeks. But things are settling down and shit's getting back to a new normal. Phew!  Starting this/next week I'll have time to comment on your posts again too! And you know what that means... features will be back next week! If you're new here, you can see what that means below.

Speaking of moving, look what lives down the street from me:

... oh no wait. You can't. Because apparently it's gotten quite cold at night here and everything in their front yard (such beautiful peppers, and squash [I wanted to steal their blossoms to make these - but I didn't], kale, beets, eggplant, and who knows what else!) has either been picked or died in the last 3 days. For reals. Now that I'm not serving for a living, I'm rarely out past 8pm = no idea what the weather is doing. Balls. I'll hopefully have some farmer's market finds for you next week. That's the plan!

 And to think I was worried no one would be interested in happy food in Ontario - silly girl. I have yet to find a Moss Street Market equivalent but it's certainly on the agenda.

....Do any of my Toronto readers (assuming I have any) know where a girl can get happy cheese, meat, eggs, honey, vegetables, and other food stuffs in the same place?

Alright! It's been weeks since I've been able to really enjoy this link up - let's get this par-tay started:

This link-up is to encourage fresh food production, consumption, activism, and awareness.

Please feel free to link up posts containing:

• CSA collections;
• Farmer's market treasures;
• Home grown/raised hauls;
• Recipes that feature fresh fruits and veggies that are seasonal to your area or feature local, sustainably farmed meats, eggs, and dairy;
• DIY projects and tutorials for: gardening, storing and/or preserving fresh, real foods, composting market scraps, raising chickens in your back yard, etc;
• Tips for local eating such as: tips for CSA members, how to find out what’s in season, how to make the most of your local produce, how to raise chickens, etc...

You may link up to 3 posts in a given week that you haven't shared here before by using the linky tool at the bottom of this post. Feel free to click on any of the linked up posts and say hello by leaving a comment for your fellow fresh food communitarians and/or leave one here to tell us what you've shared - because we know how much we all love comments!

If you don't have a blog but would still like to contribute to the link up, throw me an email and we'll work something out.

And lastly, please include a simple text link back to this blog hop (the post, not the blog's main page) in the post(s) you link up or add a button:

I want this blog hop to feature you as well as help each other come together to form a resource of good food ways for one another. In order to be featured on the weekly highlights - which includes a highlight on your post here the following week as well as tweets, facebook page "like" and posting, and being added to the Fresh Foods pinterest board - you must have a text link back or button displayed in your post or on your blog. If you don’t link back to this post I can’t feature you.

Don't forget that you can become my friend via GFC by joining this site on the right side bar, and/or find me on twitter, facebook, Pinterest, and my sister site, Taste Buds.

If you have any questions about the blog hop in general, please email me via freshfoodsbloghop (at) gmail (dot) com.
