Comments on: An Introduction to the 100-mile Diet in Ottawa http://greenlivingottawa.com/2007/04/02/an-introduction-to-the-100-mile-diet-in-ottawa/ Just another WordPress.com weblog Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:02:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Adam Hess http://greenlivingottawa.com/2007/04/02/an-introduction-to-the-100-mile-diet-in-ottawa/#comment-63 Adam Hess Tue, 10 Jul 2007 15:29:05 +0000 http://greenlivingottawa.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/an-introduction-to-the-100-mile-diet-in-ottawa/#comment-63 A quick note regarding bread and grains. Bread and Sons (Bank Street) sells a Rye sourdough made of all local ingredients. The Mountain path white and whole wheat flours sold at Herb and Spice Locations are locally grown, milled and thus 100-mile friendly. They are usually labelled in the bulk section as "organic (white) hard bread flour" or similar. A quick note regarding bread and grains.

My partner has done some research into MountainPath (based in Mountain, ON: www.mountainpath.com) as they use locally sourced grains and mill them on site. These include: Whole Wheat Bread Flour White Bread Flour Rye Flour I'll give an update when I know where we can purchase these products in town. Thanks.

Berhanu, who is at the Organic Farmer's Market (see link above) every Saturday, grows Teff on his farm and sells a number of items baked with his grain at his stall. Little Stream bakery (www.littlestream.com), located near Perth, makes an effort to use locally grown grains (I'm not sure the percentage) in their baked goods. They sell bread, pastries and freshly ground flour at the Ottawa Organic Farmer's Market.

That's the most obvious question mark I can find in this scenario and if someone has suggestions on flours that fit the scope I'd love to hear about them.

However, it is possible to get imported organic olive oil at local health food stores and through the Ontario Natural Food Coop. I don’t think we have the climate for olives around here.

I was especially excited to hear about the Organic Farmers' Market! I was curious if you had found a list of crops grown in the area. Specifically, I'm looking for organic Olive oil... I know it's probably a stretch, I can't even seem to find Canadian olive farmers, let alone ones within 100 miles... I could do without organic EVOO for cooking, but I *really* need it for my skin >.

I wanted to point out a recent article on the 100-mile diet in Ottawa. Here's the link: http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2007/04/03/100-kilometre-070403.html It talks of the restaurant "The Table" and their efforts in this area. Great article Alette.
