Hello from Toronto! Coming to Saskatoon on Saturday... (No Regina orders)
Hello from Ontario!
We are on a HOLIDAY...imagine that!! ...that is, Sam and I and the kids...poor Dad and Mom are keeping up, I hope, with the chores and meat cutting all by themselves! We're here at Sam's brothers place in Dunnville, Ont, which is not that far from Toronto.
I thought there would be plenty of time to send out my little reminder email but, wow, time has been hard to come by! (funny thing!)
It's so interesting to see the farms down here...so many things are different than Saskatchewan, such as the tiny size of the farms and that the grass is still green in the middle of November (I only wish!) but, alas... many things are the same! I have yet to see a chicken or a milk cow...even though there are THOUSANDS of them around here! They are ALL inside barns and NEVER get to eat any of that nice green grass!!
Out of morbid couriosity, we are going to visit one of these large "robot-milker" dairy farms tomorrow...I'm not sure whether I'll be impressed or disgusted with the technology is that has elliminated the need for REAL PEOPLE to milk and feed the cows! But I can say I'm totally thrilled to be visiting Michael Schmidt and his family (Glencolton Farms) on Thursday, and experience his Biodynamic Grass-fed Milk Raw Dairy in operation...the highlight of the trip for me! :)
On Wednesday we are attending the Toronto Food Freedom Rally in Queens's Park. ( I'm not looking forward to downtown Toronto again...Yonge St was my most recent nightmare!) Michael Schmidt and many rawmilk/food freedom people will be speaking... I'm sure it wil be an enlightening experience!!
November 23 has become the NATIONAL Food Freedom Rally day actually...events are happening all across Canada, including Saskatoon and Regina! I DO wish I was there for them but I booked in here before they made it a NATIONAL thing! But I strongly encourage everyone of you to go and show your support... show your government that you want the right to choose your own food... want the right to access raw milk if you choose. That your farmers need freedom to raise the numbers of animals that would make their farm profitable, that health regulations and by-laws don't prevent them from marketing in this city or that...oh the list goes on. You will learn more at the Rally!
Saskatoon's Food Freedom Rally is in front of City Hall over the lunch hour.
Regina's Food Freedom Rally is in from of the Legislature Buildings, over the luch hour.
And just as an aside...you may become "preffered customers" for attending!! :)
