This Saturday is the annual Chocolate Gala fundraiser for the Bruce County Museum - an evening of music, mingling and munchies, including local delicacies supplied by some of our Around the Sound producers. We have two pairs of complementary tickets to the gala at Around the Sound. The first pair will be given to the first person who comes in to the store Thursday with a birthday or anniversary on June 4, and the second pair is for the first person on Friday with the same story...I mean, celebration... on June 5.
Robin from Rocky Raccoon Cafe has brought the first five of the hot chutneys served at his restaurant - green chili, coriander, mint, ground red chili, and red hot Jamaican. Tamarind and date are still to come, and Robin is working on bottling his own creation.
At the risk of starting a stampede....the rainbow eggs are back, including "the girls" very first dozen extra-large. This is the time to bring a friend in to the store, just to show them these beautiful eggs from local heritage chickens.
In response to requests, we now have buckwheat honey, smoked whitefish, organic butter, jasmine tea, cornmeal, oat groats, larger bags of flour and sugar, environmentally-friendly Canadian laundry detergent, almond milk and 100% cranberry juice. Still to come are black currant juice, gluten-free mixes and pizzas, mushrooms and herbs. Is there anything else you'd like me to find?
Which reminds me - if you think of something and it is not Thursday, Friday or Saturday, feel free to email me or leave a message at the store and I'll be happy to put your name on it and set it aside. Bread has become a popular item to reserve - we were sold out by noon on Saturday! Kelsey is now making an organic white spelt sandwich loaf and a currant pumpkin seed, neither of which I've been able to try due to their afore-mentioned popularity, but I am very grateful they've been added to the bread rack.
Now, the maps and movies. My friends Jon and Michal have started on a local food adventure to put our producers on the map. We'll post the Grey-Bruce map on the wall in the produce room and surround it with their pictures and stories of our farmers, bakers, pickle, jam and cheesemakers. Jon has created a "taste" of their first farm visit for you, complete with original music, and posted it on YouTube.

The second movie is a free presentation by the Grey Bruce Coalition for Peace and Justice this Tuesday, June 9 at the library (just down the block from Around the Sound) at 7 p.m. of "Power of Community" - a great hopeful piece about how Cuba reinvented its transportation and food system when their oil supply was cut off, and what they leaned in the process.
