Local Foods Baskets from<br />

Two Rivers Food Hub<br />

The Two Rivers Food Hub is pleased to announce<br />

that they are ready to accept orders for the fall and<br />

winter version of their popular Local Foods Basket.<br />

This new program will pick up where their summer<br />

CSA-style weekly food basket program leaves off,<br />

with some seasonal adjustments and a few shiny<br />

all-new features.<br />

Starting in November, the food basket will be<br />

available for pick-up at one of their four convenient<br />

locations in Lanark or Leeds and Grenville counties,<br />

and will contain a variety of local products for<br />

lovers of local foods. Every basket will contain at<br />

least one full family meal’s worth of all-natural, sustainably-farmed<br />

local meat, local fruit and veggies,<br />

a pickle, a preserve, and at least one “wild card” option.<br />

Everything in the basket is clearly labeled and<br />

sourced with care from a small local farm. Think<br />

of it as a local food of the month club for you, your<br />

family and your friends. Maybe even a great gift for<br />

some lucky person in your life?<br />

Payments can be made all at once or, if you<br />

prefer, you can pay half now and half later. A full<br />

season share is $60/basket ($420 for 7 months)<br />

and shares are limited, so sign up now! There are<br />

also five “giving back” shares available at $504 for<br />

the season, for which the purchaser receives a full<br />

share of their own and also helps to support a half<br />

price basket for two families selected in partnership<br />

with a local food bank. Another new feature<br />

for this basket will be the ability to add some select<br />

grocery items which will be available for purchase<br />

through the Two Rivers website.<br />

The Local Foods Basket will be delivered monthly<br />

to four convenient pick-up locations in Carleton<br />

Place, Perth, Kemptville and Smiths Falls. Deliveries<br />

will be on the third Tuesday of each month,<br />

starting on November 17 and ending on May 17,<br />

Local foods baskets from the Two Rivers Food Hub<br />

are now available for the fall and winter!<br />

just in time to continue your local food supply with<br />

their weekly basket when it resumes in June.<br />

Some of the products already promised for this<br />

season’s basket include local beef, pork, lamb, potatoes,<br />

carrots, kimchee, dill, sweet and bread &<br />

butter pickles, raspberry, strawberry and crabapple<br />

jellies and jams, beets, kale, kale chips, sausages,<br />

honey, apples and garlic, and don’t forget those<br />

wild cards! This is going to be a fun way to experience<br />

local food for the fall, winter and spring for<br />

you and your family, a neat way to try new things,<br />

learn about local farms and what they offer year<br />

round, and to help support your neighbours in the<br />

agricultural community. Please call the food hub at<br />

205–1338 to order your share today.<br />

The Two Rivers Food Hub is a connection point<br />

for buyers and sellers of local foods. Their mandate<br />

is to support the small farm agricultural community<br />

around the two rivers that run through Lanark,<br />

Leeds and Grenville counties. The project began as<br />

a grassroots effort, and is now incorporated as a<br />

not-for-profit company that is designed to be selfsustaining<br />

within three to five years. Start-up funding<br />

was raised with successful grants and donations<br />

from a diverse group of interested supporters including<br />

Trillium, OMAFRA and the EODP, several<br />

municipalities, as well as other groups and individuals.<br />

The board of directors includes members<br />

of environmental groups, buyers and producers of<br />

local foods, the leader of a health organization, a financial<br />

services expert, and an elected official. The<br />

food hub is well positioned to service the tri-county<br />

area from their physical location in the Gallipeau<br />

Centre on County Road 43 in Smiths Falls.<br />
