In the early spring of course, it was the season for real maple syrup. <br />Downtown Ottawa was a great place for such shopping, for they had a huge Farmers Market Place and all sorts of food items available. (Byward Market Place, I think)<br />Now back in Manitoba, I seek out my pork and beef by the side from local Free range producers, as well as fresh chicken and eggs, that are so much more flavourful. I sort of feel sorry for folks that have yet to have a taste of the natural food that is available out there. <br />It will take some looking perhaps, but the effort will be worth every delicious morsel.<br /><br />Thank You Kate Storey for reminding consumers, and <br />enabling them to check it out and that Smaller is Better.<br /> <br /> John Fefchaknoreply@blogger.com
