Brother and sister team, Preena and Paresh Chauhan launched a line of cooking ingredients, called Arvinda’s - to share their unique family cooking masalas and spice blend recipes with others to educate people on cooking healthy Indian dishes easily and authentically. They encourage customers to be creative to design their own delicious dishes at home using fresh, local and organic produce. The launch of the products was facilitated through credits towards Preena’s Master in Environmental Studies degree, where in her research she was striving to demonstrate concepts of sustainability within her newly founded company in the food sector. Inspiration of the products was drawn from their mother, Arvinca Chauhan, owner of the Oakville-based Healthy Gourmet Indian Cooking school.

In the fall, glorious golden sunlight and cool nights are perfect for developing the complex elements of our late reds: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Vidals turn a golden colour and develop the distinctive little freckles that say it’s almost time to pick them. While we started fruit farming with principally grapes, our product line is continually expanding. Our peach trees are happier with clean cultivation under them but this flies in the face of natural order and it seems like a shame to waste all that nicely prepared soil so this year we have planted strawberries under the peach trees. This is a trial block of a variety which is highly disease resistant. If indeed the strawberries are happy with our ecological approach, they will form an ongoing part of our farm system.

ManoRun Farm, Copetown

ManoRun Organic Farm is located in Copetown near the intersection of Hwy 52 and Governor's Road. Copetown is situated on the rural border of Ancaster and Dundas - just a short 5 minute drive from either town. Chris Krucker and Denise Trigatti have been farming organically for over 10 years and offer organic vegetables, meats and bread through a "farmer to eater" relationship known as Community Supported Agriculture or CSA. The farm is 40 acres in total and includes 10 acres of vegetables, herbs and fruits, 20 acres of hay/pasture and 10 acres of grain. Most of the work on the farm is done by hand and so that involves lots of help. Chris and Denise work with local staff, intern volunteers and their 4 children to plant, cultivate, harvest and deliver the vegetables, manage the livestock and bring in the grain and hay crop.

In addition to the current CSA membership of 160 families the farm sells to www.ancasteroldmill.com

Round Plains Plantation, Waterford

For three generations, farming has been a family business for the Proracki family. It began when Bob’s grandfather and uncle visited this area in 1928. They liked it so much, Bob’s grandfather purchased land near Waterford and resettled here from Winnipeg. Bob and Juli have acquired a good knowledge of growing food trends and are tuned-in to the growing nutrition awareness and healthy eating patterns that have become primary concern for society. With this knowledge and a working plan, they installed a kitchen, adjacent to their sweet potato barn. They began making muffins, brownies, tarts and other yummy tasty treats that they now sell, along with their sweet potatoes, solely at Farmers’ markets throughout Southern Ontario. Bob & Juli Proracki grow sweet potatoes from organic seed stock that they import from a small farm in the Eastern USA. They grow everything without the use of herbicides or insecticides and use no waxes or fungicides in the washing and packaging of their products.

The Frugal Farm, Elgin

The name of our farm is called The Frugal Farm specializing in naturally raised, pasture fed meats. We follow all organic standards but do not feel the need for certification at this point. The animals raised on our farm produce meat that is far more superior in taste and quality than conventional factory farms.  As a result, we have created our own product line called Frugal Meats. The animals are all rare and heritage breeds suited to live in our climate and therefore no need for use of growth hormones, antibiotics, etc.  They are free range and live a happy natural life here. All meats are custom cut to your specifications and are processed at federally inspected facilities.

My pigs are rare breeds called Large Blacks. They originated from England in the 1880’s and were quite popular producing good bacon until about 1960.   They declined to the point that in 1980 there was only 1 Large Black female left in New Zealand. To save the breed, a male was found in Australia.  Today there are small populations around the world.

The cattle I have decided to raise for meat, milk and learn about are called Canadian Lineback.  They make excellent mothers, good milkers and don’t require any grain to get that well-marbled meat, making them ideal to raise only on pasture. 

Grows fruit & vegetables. Raises animals. Primary food in it's natural form and has not been processed into anything.

Applies a process to make a new product from primary and other ingredients. Baked goods and preserved foods, are examples.

Products made from earth based recycled, and found materials. Raw materials must be obtained from sustainable sources.

Raw product purchased from a reputable source. Producers are paid a living wage and work in a safe & healthy environment.
