Hello !

our mission at www.freshbid.com is to connect buyers and sellers, encourage our members to follow the best practices in the industry and increase the consumption of local produce. We realized that too many family-owned farms have been doing business with the same buyers for years. As a result, a surprising number of buyers are not aware of all produce availability in their local markets. To counter that phenomenon, we created a search engine that buyers can use for free to search and find all the fruits and vegetable available on their local, national and international markets.

Ostrich meat, eggs, oil, lotion, soap, lip balm.

Green Amaranth (amaranthus retroflexus), also known in Canada as Redroot Pigweed, is found from coast to coast. In the spring and early summer, this common weed is a delicacy which many look forward to removing from their garden to grace their table.

Many Canadians waited all weekend to hear: "maybe I will" or "maybe I won’t". That pretty much sums up the Liberals' announcement made yesterday. I don’t know if the NDPs know something the rest of us don’t, but I am hearing that they are out trying to gather funds for an election run. Maybe this is just in case. I don’t know.

Well as I was sittin’ waiting for the weather report to come on the radio so I could decide if it was a good day to start the 2009 haying season or fix fence also known as donating blood to the local mosquito population. The radio news report says that Harper’s progress report is out and the Block and Ndp are against it and that the Liberals are going to read it then decide if they should trigger an election or not.

I keep hearing that there was a variety of peach tree known as the Canadian Peach. It was developed in Canada to withstand colder temperatures.

I have had some fairly reliable information passed on to me that in the early 1940’s to the early 1950’s there were peach trees in backyards in Deseronto, Picton, Kingston even down around Ottawa.

The Canadian Peach was not a free stone peach, but a clinging stone variety. It also did not yield as much fruit as the more popular less hardy varieties. In the long run caused it to slip below the radar and vanish.
