✨ 🏡 🍽️ Happy Local Food Week! All week long, we’re highlighting where local love shows up on our menu every day, and we already have THREE exceptional partners to celebrate this Monday. Crisp & juicy apples from Vineland Growers are showing up throughout the week. Grown by Canadian farmers since 1913, this Niagara based co-op was founded by four fruit growers on the Niagara Peninsula and holds the distinction of being the longest continually run co-operative in Ontario. That’s over a century of delicious produce! 🍎 This morning’s snack features organic raspberry fruit spread from Crofter’s Organic, who also makes our NEW organic apricot fruit spread (coming soon for Snack Club kids). Crafted in Parry Sound, this family run favourite is known for its fruit-forward goodness, along with non-GMO and gluten-free recipes and planet friendly practices. Truly jam-packed (we had to!) with care. 😉 Today’s afternoon snack includes roasted red pepper loaf from Manoucher Bakery. This Toronto-based, family run bakery has been perfecting preservative-free breads since 1983 and is now proudly led by the founder’s daughter. They also make more delicious menu items for us, like our savoury onion bread, folded basil loaf and whole wheat rolls.
