Upcoming Events & Things To Do
Plan a Country Outing this Fall
Buy Fresh Ontario Produce
Ontario farms are bursting with flavorful home grown produce! Many farms offer you a wonderful outing in the country fresh air, a place to pick your own fruits and vegetables, or just choose a pre-picked basket or two at a country farm market.
There is just nothing like 'freshly picked' for flavor and healthy goodness!
Why not buy extra and freeze for winter eating? You will pride yourself come snow season, on the gas you have saved! And your taste buds will be happy too ...Support your local farmers.
See list of Durham Region farms and farmers markets
...Visit a museum
There are hidden gems located at small local museums. Often run by volunteers, local museums offer a fascinating look at our history. They offer many worthwhile classes and workshops as well as hold special events and are a great family destination.
Pickering Museum Presents
Yes, You 'Can' ...a good way to Preserve your farm fresh produce!
Preserving foods was originally an essential way to store up food for the winter to avoid starvation for the family. In war-time, families were urged to grow vegetables and fruit and can them as a patriotic duty. Once canned goods became readily available again in a bewildering variety, canning became relegated to a hobby.
Nowadays, canning is once again in the spotlight as part of the green movement, a hands-on vote in support of local farmers and their produce, and a way to ensure you know exactly what is in the food you feed your family. There is a great satisfaction to be had in viewing rows of jewel-toned jams and colourful vegetables, chutneys and relishes on your pantry shelf. Home-canned favourites make great gifts!
