Sheesh. We just got rolling with Stu and Nancy and their awesome farming and food delivery service. But it seems Stu's back isn't well so they're retiring from the delivery aspect of the business later this spring. Talk about a panic when I found that out - I've just got in the habit of re-thinking my purchases around what they can provide.
Luckily, at the wonderful Youth Entrepreneurship Showcase this weekend (hosted by Falls Brook Centre) we met the Livingstones, who have a farm in Pembroke and are doing a weekly food box from June until November. You should consider getting food there too - here is their website.
It is encouraging to see a sustainable family farm like this setting up around here. We need more wholesome food grown by people who care about health and the land. Stu has certainly spent his lifetime in Carleton County trying to encourage this sort of thinking. Stop by the Speerville Mill website sometime and read the story of how they got started. Kinda reminds me of a plucky little arts festival I know (not to mention the story of the founding of the Carleton County Historical Society). Thanks goodness for good people and good food. I don't want to imagine a world without them.
