Here's what's in season and fresh this week.

Wild Mushrooms Posted on: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 We are delighted to now carry an assortment of wild mushrooms from One Hundred Mile Wild Foods Company, which are harvested with and dried by hand in the Interior of British Columbia. These high quality mushrooms come in 1 oz packages and come with a recipe. Currently we have porcini, roast porcini, morels, smoked morels and lobster mushrooms, as well as a mushroom mix available: $14-17

New Batch of Kick Ass Plum+Apricot Chutney! Posted on: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 Our Lifecycles Fruit Tree Project chutney is now ready! We received 300 lbs of plums from Lifecycles and turned them into 260 jars of chutney. Last year we sold out by February, so order yours early! 375 ml for $15 with $3 per jar going to Lifecycles.

New Preserve! Posted on: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 Triple Wild Berry Preserve ~ a new creation to savour with pâté, cheese, or even simply on toast! We've made a magic new combination of Oregon grape, salal, marionberry, Cherry Point Solera Port, pepper, and rosemary ~ in a word, delicious! As always, no preservatives or pectin added, just the straight goods! 190 ml jar $16.00

Sweet Corn Posted on: Wednesday, October 8, 2008 peaches and cream or super sweet ~ both delicious and grand mixed if cutting off the cob. Silver Rill Farm has both varieties and they are always superior. Succotash, in vinaigrettes, a salad garnish or even using the humble cob to flavour a stock.

Chanterelle Mushrooms Posted on: Thursday, September 4, 2008 With damper nights and some rain, the summer chanterelles have started. Golden or white/ivory they will be in season until there is frost. Many pickers have secret spots to collect. We are required to buy our mushrooms from licenced operators to ensure there are no mystery mushrooms in the mix. Chanterelles must be cooked and are wonderful sauteed with butter. One of the simplest ways to enjoy chanterelles is in scrambled eggs. Look for chanterelles on our Thanksgiving menu.

Green Figs Posted on: Thursday, September 4, 2008 While late in coming, the season is here for luscious green figs. We get our figs from Le Retraite Farm near Elk Lake; they deliver these little treasures on egg trays to ensure they do not bruise. Devour fresh on their own, cut in half oven dry overnight and serve with cheese, make a compote and serve over the best ice cream , grill to heat through and serve with rack of lamb. A fresh batch of our Fig Conserve was just made on the Labour Day weekend.
