Did you know?

Do you know what is available fresh right now in Ottawa? Do you know what's in season? Well if you frequent the big box stores for your fruits and vegetables, I would imagine your answer would be everything. The problem is that your fruits and veggies need to travel half the globe to get here and seem in season.
Why not try some of the veggies available right in your backyard (so to speak) from local greenhouses and gardens. Right now you have access to healthy nutritious veggies from various sources. My family receives a basket from Bryson Farms weekly and in it you'll find all the inspiration you need during these dark and dreary days of winter.
I will start this week putting out a recipe weekly for some of the veggies we receive on a weekly basis. Also please check out Bryson's website for a listing of what is available and how to receive your own basket of inspiration and health.
Cheers.

Oh yeah on to the list of what's currently available. Look here. If it's not on this list, chances are it came from a long ways away.

And please check the Blog for Stuart Collins. One of the founding members of Bryson Farms, and his plight to remain in Canada.
