It is estimated that over 20,000 people gathered in Melancthon Township at the aptly named Foodstock event to protest the proposed limestone mega quarry. In a nutshell, an American-financed company, Highland Companies, has big plans for our prime potato farmland 85 km north of Toronto. Below the beautiful soil there is approximately 1 billion tonnes of limestone and Highland wants it all. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/10/19/foodstock-standing-up-in-the-mud-for-what-we-believe-in/feed/ 5 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/07/21/cutting-veg/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/07/21/cutting-veg/#comments Thu, 21 Jul 2011 10:00:31 +0000 admin http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=10093 How can you make a difference through your relationship with food?

Allow our gardening and farming superhero Daniel Hoffman of The Cutting Veg to explain. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a mutually beneficial partnership where peeps receive fresh, local, organically grown produce weekly, while supporting local farmers and sustainable growing practices. The CSA model is one that has become hugely popular among veggie-lovers, over the past several years. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/04/12/green-things-growing-what-is-a-csa-anyway/feed/ 8 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2009/09/30/the-magical-magic-of-castor-oil/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2009/09/30/the-magical-magic-of-castor-oil/#comments Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:51:51 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=2695 I am back from Ohio and what a holiday it was!

Kinvara (which I kept calling Kinarva), a small town on the West Coast of Ireland falls into the first category. I could live here.
