With several domestic manufacturers all working in this direction, such a goal does not seem too far fetched.

The last time I scoured the web for “ Write for Us ” pages, the ensuing post was very well received.  It’s not always easy to find some of the hidden markets – even though the web is filled with them.  Doing a web search for “write for us” helped me to land some very lucrative opportunities and I’ve been recommending this method of searching for years. I know you’ve all been clamoring for more “Write for Us” pages, and I will continue to bring them to you as often as I can. Please note, it’s a frustrating and long process as many of the “Write for Us” pages on the web are non-paying opportunities and there’s a lot to go through

This is an event I am especially proud to announce and promote.  Queen Victoria Public School’s Parent Council is holding the first, of many more, hot school lunch days.  On Tuesday May 4 senior students will be preparing 2 types of soups for the rest of the school to purchase for their lunch.  This program acts as a fund raiser for the Parent Council but reaches far beyond that in promoting the new food guidelines set out by the Provincial Government as well as teaching the students where their food comes from.  The program was made possible by working in partnership with private sponsors.  We at the Black Kettle Bistro along with the Essex County Associated Growers are contributing our time and products for the program.  All produce used is grown locally and helps promote the Buy Local movement.
