Today is Canadian Agriculture Day!!! .

We celebrate food, especially local food, everyday. Thank you famers !!

You know what’s scary about producing food… half of its is wasted!! 😳😢

Total Waste:
Over 50% of the food produced in Canada is lost or wasted annually …
47% from households

Economic Cost:
The value of avoidable food waste is estimated at $58 billion annually, or up to $100 billion when including broader environmental and societal costs.

See below for some ways to help divert this valuable resource in your home … that we have tried, tested and use daily ❤️

A stormy, stay inside kind of day calls for homemade tomato soup!

One of my favourite tomato varieties to grow is candyland ( ). It is super high yielding, currant variety that makes a great quick healthy snack, easy for salads and great for freezing whole, when you just cant eat them fast enough !

A super easy recipe with homegrown, preserved ingredients.. warm in the belly on this winter day !

Let me know if you want the recipe !
