Last year, I had the honour of being a part of the Dare 2 Dream Sandy Loam Produce first ever Community Support Agriculture (CSA) program in Espanola, Ontario. On a weekly basis, CSA members as well as those of you signed up for the Holistic Lacey newsletter received a flyer filled with delicious recipes, tips and nutritional facts. I have decided to share this deliciousness to inspire, educate and encourage everyone to enjoy eating locally and seasonally, and to feel the difference for yourself.

Nutritional Tip: How do you get your calcium? The most common answer to this question is dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese, or perhaps a supplement. Did you know that leafy green vegetables contain more absorbable calcium than dairy?
