Fair Trade Manitoba is hosting another one month challenge starting on February 12. Check out their website for more information. There are a lot of non-local items that we like to include in our diets, including coffee, tea, chocolate, spices, rice, and bananas. Many of these are available from people who get paid a fair wage. Check Fair Trade Manitoba's consumer guide to help find fair trade products in your locale.
I previously posted about finding more fair trade items (spices and rice) here.

News - Oct 10
100 Mile Manitoba after December 9
At the general meeting held on October 1, participants discussed the possibilities of continuing 100 Mile Manitoba into the future. There was general agreement that this would be positive. Ideas for the future included bulk buying, continued connection with producers, helping to formulate policy on local food, and a challenge again next year. An opportunity for funding support was presented by Manitoba Food Charter staff. The Charter has received a 3 year grant from Heifer International to support a local food project in which the Charter will partner with 12 community groups or organizations throughout the Province. With the partnership comes some staff support and funds to assist with the carrying out of activities determined by the partnering group through its planning process. 100 Mile participants present at the meeting agreed to the development of this partnership if there was support for the idea from other 100 Mile participants.
So, your comments are welcome...is this something that you would like to see go forward? Do you have any reservations about it?
We hope to hear from you. Reply , or phone to 775-1724 in Winnipeg.

Home-made Yogurt Submitted by David Dawson
1. In a bowl microwave 1 litre of milk until almost boiling. (1%, 2% or full cream milk is OK. Skim makes a poor yogurt)
2. Cover and allow to cool – eg by setting the bowl in cold water.
3. When cool (less than 40 deg C/ blood temp) add ½ cup skimmed milk powder and stir to dissolve. Note that Medallion brand skim milk powder is produced locally.
4. Stir in ½ cup yogurt starter and place in a warm place overnight or about 12 hours.
For a starter you can use any commercial plain yogurt which contains 'active culture'. I have used Presidents Choice Organics plain Yogurt (ex Superstore) which is delicious. For your next batch of yogurt, you can use the last ½ cup of your previous batch as your starter, though it seems you can only do this a few times before the quality deteriorates, and you have to go back to the commercial product. You can also get dehydrated yogurt starter from health food stores.
5. After the 12 hours and cooling in the fridge, it seems a good thing to give the yogurt a stir as it is likely to separate.
Green Party of Manitoba Fall Dinner: A Celebration of Local Organic Food

Biofuels: Solution or Problem?
Are biofuels a solution to declining oil reserves and growing energy needs?
Does the production process consume more energy than the fuels generate?
Is global food security threatened?
These are but a few of the questions that will be addressed by the panelists.
There will be ample time for questions from the audience.

Wine Tasting
To all 100 mile eaters
D.D.Leobard Winery would like to invite everyone doing the 100 mile diet to come and share their 100 mile appetizers with us and enjoy some of our 100 mile wines at our Manitoba winery. These wines are made here from local fruit and berries and have won many awards.
Date: Friday, October 19
Time: All welcome from 7PM to 11PM.
No Charge, but everyone is encouraged to bring some sort of finger food of their own creation for all to sample. The choice is yours, it could be anything from appetizers to desserts. Due to food sensitivities, we ask that you write your ingredients on a small card along with your creations.
Please RSVP to the winery by e-mail or phone ASAP but by October 15 at the latest, so we know how many to expect. The winery will supply the wine, the glasses, the plates, the serviettes, etc. and if anyone is bringing hot foods, we have a couple of warming trays and chaffing dishes as well, just let us know.
We think this will be a great occasion to meet new people, share recipes, find out how everyone is doing with their food choices and just socialize. We hope you can make it. Along with everyone out there, we have sent an invitation to some of our friends in local Manitoba food production for you to meet and speak with.
We are eating well and healthy,
Denis d'Eschambault and Barbara Tascona

What's New - Sept 10
Media Outreach
Will and I get phone calls daily from media interested in speaking with 100 mile dieters. The coverage has been fantastic! We have connected media across Manitoba to many of you; a big thanks to all of you who have been interviewed - we really appreciate it! We would love to broaden the diversity of people being interviewed still more. So if you are willing to be interviewed about your experiences during the next 100 days please let us know asap (jenniferdegroot@yahoo.ca). Prior media experience is not required but if you do have some do mention that. Also, if we don't know you, please let us know something about yourself. Finally, if you can speak any other languages (particularly French) also let us know.
Thanks again!

Update on lentils and a bit about beans
I have been inundated with lentil orders. Great! Since many of you have asked the same questions I will answer them all together. The lentils are not organic. I had a good conversation with the farmer, Ron Knight, about the whole organic industry. As an organic farmer myself I have many questions about the value of organic certification as does he. We both agreed that a relationship of trust with the farmer is the most important guarantee of a trustworthy product. This can only occur when we buy local and directly from farmers; no label can guarantee that, not even organic, which has turned into more of a brand name than a guarantee of good farming practices. Ron said that he sprayed the lentils for weeds about 3 weeks after seeding. They were sprayed again just prior to harvest though not with an insecticide or pesticide, just something to kill the plant, otherwise they'd just keep growing and be impossible to harvest. He was proud to report that his lentils are beautiful and taste great. The cost is 26 cents/lb.
Some of you mentioned Roy Legumex as another source of lentils and beans as well as Eidse Farms and Brueggeman. Eidse buys from Legumex and the majority of Bruegemann's products come from elsewhere (not Manitoba, more likely Saskatchewan). Legumex is the big bean & lentil distributor in Manitoba. Several of us have left messages for Legumex trying to find out where they get their product from but our calls have not been returned so far (this is their busiest time of year). I'm told that most of their product comes from Manitoba and Saskatchewan (I tell you, Saskatchewan is starting to sound like the garden of Eden).
Several of us have made a bulk order of beans from Stowe farms near Carman (listed on the 100 mile site). Their beans (pinto, kidney, black, red Mexican, navy?) come in 100 lb bags and are also not organic. My partner Will had a fascinating discussion with them about free trade, the food production industry and bean growing. Perhaps someone else has energy to organize a bulk order of local beans.
The lentils will probably arrive the weekend of Sept 15th (with Ron's son who goes to university in the city). I will arrange for them to be at a central pick-up area near downtown Winnipeg and will have a "lentil open house" one evening when you can all come by and get them. Until then if you have more orders do let me know, the sooner the better.
Thanks for your enthusiasm.

Green Party Fall Dinner
Hello 100 Milers,
My name is James Beddome, and I am council member at large with the Green Party of Manitoba. On Friday October 12th, 2007 at the Freighthouse we will be having our third annual Green Party Fall Dinner. The Dinner is a fundraising event, where we try to showcase local organic food.We would like to encourage some other community oriented groups that are encouraging local food production to come set-up displays at are fall dinner.
When preparing the menu we try to accommodate as many food choices as possible. There should be a vegan, local organic meat, and 100 mile option available.
Last years menu was primarily local (although a few of the ingredients (salt, cinnamon) may have came from outside of a 100 mile radius of Winnipeg--salt or cinnamon for instance). We will also disclose if any particular dish has a spice or ingredient that is from outside of the 100 mile radius. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. For more information, please contact me.

Hi all 100 milers and other locavores I thought I should send this out to you guys and gals to let you know that I still have a few delicious, pasture raised Manitoba chickens available.

Its first come first served and I am running out fast (also already taking order for next summer's production) My cell 9974105, give me a call anytime between 7am and 9pm to get your hands on some chickens.
What is Local Food
Harvest Moon Festival will be featuring a panel discussion on "what is local food " on Saturday September 22 at 12:30 PM.The panel will feature a rural producer, Harvest Moon Society member,100 Mile participant and a Manitoba Food Charter staff person
To find out more about the Festival, click here.
Here are two comments from rural folks about what local means for them, and the limitations of strictly 100 mile guidelines.
"I do believe the intent of the 100 mile diet is admirable, but it really could hurt my production interests because I live more than 100 miles from Winnipeg. I hope this movement can develop another concept that will capture the vision of building direct producer to--consumer linkages that does not discriminate against rural people who happen to live more than 100 miles from an urban centre". Les-a small farmer
"Partly because of our involvement, our urban 100 miler friends are rethinking their borders. The organisers have contacted us about sourcing Boissevain grown beans, herbs and alfalfa seed. Increasingly they're saying they'll buy food from anywhere in Manitoba - that the 100 mile tag is only that, a tag to get us determining our food buying circle and to get the media's attention. What we're really talking about is intentional diets - not letting the supermarkets determine what we eat and from whom we buy." David- a sustainability advocate and 100 mile participant.

Upcoming event of interest!
Greetings 100 Mile-ers!
Next saturday, May the 12th, Project Peacemakers is holding their annual Eco-Friendly dinner fundraiser. It is a vegetarian meal (working towards more local though they may have to start holding it in the fall -- but one step at a time). I mention this event because our very own Dan Wiens will be speaking on Food Security: Global to Local and 100 Mile Manitoba will be making an appearance in a display and on everybody's placemats. The cost is $10 (12 and under $5) and their will be some music entertainment as well. The feasting begins at 6:00pm but you need to call ahead to reserve your ticket (so food preparers can plan ahead). To do this call me, Mya, at 775-8178 or email at info@projectpeacemakers.org THANKS!
