New Local Products
Every week we’re finding more and more products to carry, and
getting even more requests. As it becomes logistically possible for us
to carry these products, we’ll let you know. This issue of the news
is about some of the new folks we’re working with. All of the
products listed here are available for delivery starting in June!
Bohemian
Ovens Bread
Bohemian
Ovens was started by Mike Hable almost eight years ago after his 27-year
career in dairy farming. Mike continues on his mission of making “good
bread.” Each loaf is hand crafted and baked in their big wood-fired
brick oven which the Hable brothers designed and built themselves up
in Bloomer. These breads are made with high quality grains and
flours and contain no added fat, dough enhancers, food coloring, or
preservatives. They are not sliced and should be refrigerated to retain
freshness.

Durand boasts one of the finest cheese plants in
the State of Wisconsin. Eau Galle cheese produces over 9 million pounds
of Parmesan and Romano cheese each year. Leo Buhlman, our founder,
apprenticed for 8 years as a cheesemaker in Switzerland before coming to
the United States in 1926. Leo purchased the Eau Galle Cheese Factory in
1945. His hard work, honesty, and attention to quality is shown in the
cheese produced. Leo passed down the knowledge and skills of
cheesemaking to his son who operates the plant today. These hard cheeses
come in wedges with weights between one half and one full pound. A
familiar and popular cheese, parmesan can be enjoyed as a table
cheese and served with meals; it also makes a great accompaniment to
such fruits as sliced pears, tart apples, fresh figs, and ripe melon. Asiago
is a hard, aromatic Italian cheese originally made only in the Dolomite
Mountains region of northern Italy. It can be used for grating and as a
table cheese. This cheese is granular, like Parmesan, but a bit more
pungent in flavor. Romano, one of the world’s oldest and most
favorite cheeses, comes from just outside beautiful Rome. It has a
creamy white color, sharp piquant flavor, and a hard granular texture.
Eau Galle Italian is another superb hard cheese, and can be used as
a substitute for the others in almost any recipe.

We are now getting fresh certified organic whole
grain products direct from the Hilgendorf family farm in Welcome, MN.
Their specialty is hi lysine corn – which has more protein than
other corn (almost as much as meat), is more digestible, and higher in
essential amino acids. The corn chips are excellent, the corncake
waffle mix is wheat and gluten free, and the harvest grains
pancake mix (wheat, oats, rye, corn, and buckwheat) is an “award
winning” blend. Eight grain hot cereal consists of whole wheat,
hi lysine corn, oats, rye, sunflower seeds, flax, millet, and sesame –
a supremely nutritious and delicious meal, especially when combined with
some fresh cream and honey, butter, yogurt…
Please give these whole grain products a try.
If we get a good response from customers we will consider carrying a full
line of products from this family farm in the future.
Morsels…
The Kostkas are running a 2 for 1 special
for the beginning of June – buy one package of brats, we’ll
deliver two! The Kostka’s raise their pigs naturally and humanely
on their family farm down near Osseo. A number of items from Sno-Pac
have gone up in price, but remain an affordable organic choice. The Holstein,
that white and dark chocolate caramel sandwich handmade by River
Chocolate Company from fair trade chocolates and local cream and
butter, has had a packaging change – they now come one to a package
and the price has lowered to $2.59. Yum. Several customers have asked
for contact information about our insurance agent, Mark Wise, who
has been providing alternative fuel and expertise free of charge to our
business. He is now working with Indianhead Insurance and can be
reached at 833-7181 for your insurance needs...
Rats
fed Genetically Modified corn developed abnormalities in blood and
kidneys
(from the Independent UK) Rats
fed on a diet rich in genetically modified corn developed abnormalities
to internal organs and changes to their blood, raising fears that human
health could be affected by eating GM food. The Independent has
revealed details of secret research carried out by Monsanto, the GM food
giant, which shows that rats fed the modified corn had smaller kidneys
and variations in the composition of their blood. According to the
confidential 1,139-page report, these health problems were absent from
another batch of rodents fed non-GM food as part of the research
project. (details and full article at: http://www.independent.co.uk/
, search for “gm corn”). You can be assured that we at Just Local
Food Cooperative are concerned about your health and the long term
sustainability of our farmers. For
this reason, we do not carry genetically modified products at this time.
