| Tom's Pantry Tom's Pantry for the week of May 18th 2020. Hello folks. I now have a cycle of three weeks with three delivery routes: south-east through Cornwall, north-east to Vankleek Hill and Alexandria, and north-west to Ottawa, Metcalfe and Chesterville. I will bake this Thursday May 21st for pick up at my home on Thursday evening. I plan a delivery route on Friday morning going south through Finch, Newington, Long Sault, and Cornwall. In the early evening, I return home through Lancaster, Apple Hill, and Monkland. And I can stop at other points in that loop. Next week, I will deliver on the north-west route. The week after, I will cover the north-east route. Keep watching this newsletter for details. There is a minimum order of two loaves for a home delivery on a scheduled route. Payment is by cash upon delivery or e-transfer in advance. I need your order please by Wednesday evening 9pm in order to prepare enough levain overnight. Please send me your orders by email. See all the bread details, prices, and ordering considerations here . And a reminder - I also offer flour and baking ingredients; see the second page of the price list. And I have jigsaw puzzles for exchange or for sale for $5 each. Food and Farming during a crisis? Eleanor McGrath reflects on food and farming from atop her Kubota tractor. This article appeared in the Cornwall Standard Freeholder . "When a Torontonian heads to a farmers’ market, they enjoy a chat with the person manning the stall, leave with produce in their environmentally friendly bag and vow to support local. But often, the produce is far from local. The disconnect between politicians and farmers, between consumers and farmers is where we must begin in building the new agriculture economy post-COVID-19." I need to hear from you. Please send me feedback on the bread that I provide you, both the encouragements and the constructive criticism. I can only make it better if I hear from you.
