What is Traditional Foods?
If you have ever gone to a health store yourself for supplements, you will understand why nutrient dense food costs more. When producing nutrient dense food, the soil, the plants and the livestock are being fed those same supplements so that YOU can look to your food to provide you with what you need! This is traditional nutrition. Traditional Foods farmers are using GMO free inputs and Bio-Ag balanced rations to enhance the health of living systems.

Over the last 50 years, the amounts of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin and vitamin C in conventionally grown fresh fruits and vegetables have declined significantly. As an example, consider the calcium in broccoli - widely grown varieties in 1950 had about 13 mg/g of calcium, but today’s varieties provide only about 4.4 mg/g of calcium. And check out corn, below!

Conventionally grown cornmeal contains significantly fewer nutrients than an heirloom variety.

The health consequences of dietary deficiencies, such as increased cancer and accelerated aging, need to be taken far more seriously and this is what Traditional Foods farmers are doing. They are also raising animals on pasture to produce nutrient dense products that are consistently richer in vitamins A, D and E, beta-carotene and beneficial fatty acids.

Preparing to Launch an Online Farm-gate Stall!
There are many more details to come! It is super tricky launching this as we grow our distribution network! Currently drop offs are available in Kitchener, North Huron County, South Bruce County, South Grey County and North Wellington. If you see a way where you can help or have ideas and comments, please email (see contact page).

Distribution Challenges
Help us help you by forming a buying group at your work, in your apartment building, at your favourite store or in your neighbourhood so that your combined orders meet a minimum. Wholesale and foodservice orders are welcome. With peak oil issues, it only makes sense that we work together.

Launching Soon!
Watch our supply list grow to include artisanal cheeses, fruits and vegetables, honey & maple syrup, deli meats and so much more! We are striving to have our online ordering system and community of producers and eaters come alive by the start of the growing season. Stay in touch and see you there!
