The Muskokavore

Good Evening All, a busy time is at hand! I have just sent out the Press release detailing what is happening at the Muskokavore,and am handing out a great whack more flyers detailing what we do and geared for those folks who, for various reasons, cannot leave home for the markets here in Muskoka, and offering our personal shopping services as well. If, for instance, someone has suffered an illness, or other debilitating circumstance, we will happily look after their basic shopping needs, both through our local producers, but also for more general groceries as well. I think this is an area that has been neglected in Huntsville and surroundings, and we look forward to filling that void. The Farmer's Markets have been steady, and I think it will just take a little more time for our service to take off. We're still waiting for our first true customer to come to us, but we've received interest from as far away as Orillia!
I received a call from the kind folks at Savour Muskoka today, and am looking forward to having a coffee with James to see if we can help each other out in any way. This promotion of the local food resources is not an easy thing, but one I truly feel is needed, and perhaps our services will overlap in several ways to better promote the cause! Also thanks to "Yummies in a Jar" for your interest! We will get you on board soonest!
I have been wolfing garlic scapes over the last few days, courtesy of our friends at Belanger Farms, and will post a couple of new recipes tomorrow. My kids can handle the garlic, but have a hard time with too much heat, so the "Pico De Garlic" has had to wait! A fabulous salad dressing, and steak rub coming up... tomorrow! Also working on a grilled lamb recipe. Thanks to those of you following this convoluted path... As a "newbie", this is a great way to let ideas out, but let me know what you think, or any new places you may think I should be going with this! I'm trying to follow the K.I.S.S. principal and don't want to veer to far from my chosen delivery path, however any other ways to get this service into the public eye would be welcome! Tell your friends, and stay happy. Remember, THINK GLOBALLY - EAT LOCALLY! Cheers, Chris

P.S. The wake was everything Jay would have hoped it to be and I am sure he is watching developments with great interest...
