Terra Madre Day


To celebrate Terra Madre Day Elna has been working hard to prepare a feast with locally grown food. She has been busy trying to perfect her recipes so she could get every thing just right. Just a few of the local suppliers were Eagle Creek Garlic and Potatoes, Chinook Honey and Meadery, Hamilton's barley flour, Nixon's Honey, Beck Farms Vegetables, Sylvan Star Cheese, Flavour of the Foothills BBQ sauce, Highwood Crossing wheat flour, HolmeHus Eggs, and of course Edgar Farms.


We had our good friends Stan and Liz over, along with their son John Mills who went to Tara Madre last year. Our son in law Randy was quite disappointed that he had to miss this meal as he stayed home with a sick daughter although Keri and our grandaughter did get to enjoy the evening. John was a bit late getting here as he had gone to Calgary with a truck load of Innisfail Growers produce to the market. Pictured here is a picture of him sampling his home grown garlic that Elna slow roasted and placed on her home made crackers . Also John's friend Rayell missed out because of other commitments. All in all it was a great feast and was enjoyed by all.
