We at Equal Exchange loved this post and appreciate the mention of our chocolate. We also thought you & your readers would be happy to know that for occassions like Halloween we also offer tiny, bite-sized organic Fair Trade chocolates. see http://shop.equalexchange.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=18613
Also, since you're aware of the child labor issue, you'll probably want to know about the nationwide campaign we do every year (in conjunction w/a great group of non-profits) called Reverse Trick-or-Treating. It enlists thousands of volunteer families in hundreds of communities to hand out about 250,000 informationl cards about child labor & Fair Trade - to each of which is attached one of our little chocolates. For more see: www.equalexchange.coop/minis
Raw milk is wonderful. You absolutely do have to be careful about 'who your farmer is" however when you purchase raw milk. The WAPF are clearly on to something...Last thing we need is someone who derides good food in such a powerful position...but my guess is that the idea of quality is either too controversial or too complicated to pitch to the american publlic.
@Kris - yes! english muffin or leftover baguette! you just inspired my bfast though today i've got some thick sliced tuscan bread, going to toast and then top with the honey goat mix and a bit of grandma's raspberry jam. heavenly...
Interesting discussion! Thanks all. A few years back, our farm participated in a small-scale study comparing levels of E coli, Salmonella etc found on organic and conventional farms. Just curious--does anyone know of advancing research in that realm?
Just bought my Dad a great cheese course book for Christmas with a bit of honeycomb, some fig jam and dark chocolate from France 44. I'll have to point him to this post as well!
Tons of great ideas! I love the vanilla simple syrup idea. One of my favorite quick-for-a-party or gift recipes I got from Byerly's.
Sweet and Spicy Party Mix
Combine 1 cup each:
Waymouth Farms GoodSense® Wasabi Peas
dried cranberries
whole cashews
roasted, salted pistachios
honey roast peanuts
Bergin Sesame Stix, salted
Store tightly covered up to 1 week.
Raw Milk - personally, would not drink it or feed it to my kids. However, people are going to do things that I do not agree with. Selling it on farm may not make it completely safe, but keeping out of retail keeps it away from the casual or confused consumer. Re risks - see this document, I think it may be the best information out there - IMHO:
