Saturday February 28 will be the 28th day we've had our doors open. We've invited the farmers and producers to come along and meet their customers. There will be free samples all day, and some giveaways and prizes too, so please join us.

We've had a new farmer join us, so in addition to the choice Charolais from Bob Emerson's farm, we have grass-fed beef from Cathy Miller's Over the Moon Farm.

In her words:

"My farm is on the Beaver valley, just above Kimberley. Everything I grow is organic; if I have to buy feed, I get it from Walter's Falls Mills, but they have mostly been fed organically. The cattle get to go outside when they want, and they haven't received any antibiotics or hormones."

A potroast waiting in the slow cooker can be a great welcome after a good ski day, and we have the onions, garlic, carrots and canned organic tomatoes too.

There are lots of cuts in the freezers, so just ask if you don't see what you want.

In the dairy department, we have Saugeen Country Yogurt and some Pine River cheeses now, as well as the chevre plain or with dill or garlic flowers, and the feta and pecorino from Markdale.

As you've noticed, the Ontario organic produce is slowly disappearing, but Chris is making judicious choices about bringing in a good variety of imports to fill in the gaps. As soon as we can have local, we will, and by next winter we hope Grey-Bruce has local storage for our own roots and frozen vegetables.

We're looking forward to seeing you this week and every week, from 10 to 7 Thursday and Friday and 10 to 4 on Saturday. Join us for our 28th day celebration on the 28th
