The Thanksgiving Story

Early settlers celebrated Thanksgiving during harvest time. Even though we might not directly celebrate the joys of a bountiful harvest today, we still eat many of the same foods on Thanksgiving that early settlers would have harvested this time of year. Wild turkeys, ducks or geese were often on the menu at early Thanksgiving celebrations. Like today, the birds were often stuffed, but instead of the bread-based stuffing we use today, the birds back then were filled with onions, herbs, and sometimes even chestnuts. Vegetables like carrots and turnips were tasty side dishes at the tables of most of the settlers’

| Farm to Fork

thanksgiving dinners, and although plenty of pumpkins were eaten in the fall by North America’s earliest settlers, pumpkin pies were not as popular a dish as they are today. Most of the Thanksgiving traditions we enjoy today started after 1850, when many popular cookbooks were published. This made the meals all over the country more similar, since many homemakers followed the same recipes. This Thanksgiving, you can celebrate the harvest by eating just like the early settlers did. Carrots, squash, apples, beets, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, and cabbage are just a few of the many delicious Ontarian foods that are ready for picking around Thanksgiving.


East Gwillimbury: Then and Now In 1796, Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe ordered the construction of Yonge Street from Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe. He named the community East Gwillimbury after his wife, Elizabeth Gwillim. The township of East Gwillimbury was first surveyed by Stegman in 1800 and by Hambley in 1803. This led to the opening of Crown land which was offered to settlers coming north from Pennsylvania, Vermont, Connecticut, and New York, USA. At a later date, pockets of land were given by the government to officers as a result of military action before and after the War of 1812 as well as land held by the Anglican Church. In 1849, the

Baldwin Act incorporated the Township of East Gwillimbury effective January 1, 1850. Between 1796 and 1860, many small hamlets grew up at cross roads as a result of the building of a general store, followed by an inn, church, school, small industry, mills and more. The township boundaries are Green Lane and Davis Drive to the south, Bathurst Street to the west, Ravenshoe Road to the north and York/Durham Townline to the east. East Gwillimbury is best known for the fertile lands of the Holland Marsh, the architecturally stunning Sharon Temple, and as the gateway to Lake Simcoe.

Sharon Temple In the Upper Canada of the 1820s, in the Village of Sharon, a small community known as the Children of Peace crafted, with simple tools but consummate skill and artistry, a dramatic architectural testament to its vision of a society founded on the values of peace, equality, and social justice. The centrepiece of their activity was the Temple. Completed in 1832 and restored in 2011, it is now part of the Sharon Temple National Historic Site and Museum, which encompasses nine historic buildings in a 4.5 acre park-like setting. In 2006, the Toronto Star named the Sharon Temple one

of the ten most architecturally important buildings in Canada. The Sharon Temple represents many things. To some, it represents one of the finest and most unique examples of Canadian architecture. To others, the Temple stands as a beacon to the values that Canada has become known for around the world; those of equality and social justice. And still to others, the Temple represents the importance of preserving our past so that future generations may learn from it and be inspired by it.

Sage Butter Elizabeth Doan, wife of Ebenezer Doan, master builder of the Temple, wrote about her experience coming to Canada in 1808 and the rocky road from Buck’s County, Pennsylvania to their new home on Leslie Street in the community of Sharon. The road was so bumpy, they filled their butter churn in the morning with fresh milk and by the time they stopped in the evening, they had creamy butter.

Visit the Sharon Temple and make fresh butter by hand, just as those early settlers used to. Pick fragrant sage from the Heritage Herb Garden outside Elizabeth and Ebenezer’s house to blend into the butter and bring the taste of an old-fashioned Thanksgiving to your table this year.

Bills Turkey Farm Bill’s Turkey Farm puts turkeys first. They raise and process their turkeys the traditional way, making them more tender while offering a more humanely raised turkey than other farms. Next, they feed their birds longer, giving them a better flavour that is richer too. Lastly, they air chill their birds and never use water or additives to plump up the birds they sell, so you get nothing but delicious, mouth-watering turkey. They are just like the turkeys your grandparents would have eaten in the past. Billsturkeyfarm.com

Thompson Potato Farm Thompson Potato Farm originated in 1943 as a dairy and potato farm under the direction of Don Thompson. Don and his wife Marion raised their family of five children on the farm. Don worked the land and looked after the animals. Marion had a passion for writing that she squeezed in between raising her family and her full-time job as a teacher. Don was thrilled when his son John decided to join him as a full-time farmer in the 1970s. In the late 1980s, Don and John decided to streamline. So they sold the dairy herd and focused all their attention on mastering growing and selling potatoes. The farm acquired a third full-time farmer when John’s son R.J. joined them in 1994. In 2000, the product line was expanded with the acquisition of a new peeling line which provides customers with fresh peeled potatoes and fries.

They began selling their crop at the Ontario Food Terminal in 2004. This eventually led to the buying and resale of fresh produce to restaurants and at the farm door.

King Cole Duck Farm Almost 65 years ago, a few ducks, a few chickens, and a stall at the North York farmer’s market was the beginning of what would become Canada’s premium farm to fork duck farm just north of Toronto. The farm has a rich history, as founder Jim Murby built the business armed with one important piece of market intel from the farmer’s market: no other stalls had ducks! He, his wife Marg and their four children built the business flock by flock, creating whatever was needed to breed, hatch, raise, and process ducks; everything was built and engineered from scratch. Today, the farm to fork duck business is owned by Bob Murby and his sister Joanne Grant but operated by third generation duck farmers, Jim Murby’s four granddaughters whose farming

philosophy is to produce duck products that are natural, farm raised using grain fed diet, fresh air, clean deep well water, and tender loving care for the flocks and the products.

Fun Fact 1952 – the Murbys find a boiler for their first plant. The challenge: it was attached to the original Maid-of-the-Mist, Niagara Falls, and in order to complete the purchase the boiler, it had to be hauled off the boat and up the Niagara Gorge by rope-and-pulley, then loaded on a flat-bed truck for the slow drive back to Newmarket by 16-year-old, now President and Owner, Bob Murby!

Their commitment to sustainability runs throughout the operation from the composted manure that is sold to garden centres as a natural soil enhancement to the feathers that are sold overseas for pillows and clothing. Their new farm fresh store welcomes visitors seven days a week with an opportunity to get ducks fresh daily, and try specialty duck products that range from rendered duck fat to duck burgers. Once a month duck school brings guests from all over Ontario who are treated to a delicious evening of “how to” combined with a duck-u-cation of how the family and their staff farm, and what buying local means to the food Ontarian’s enjoy. queensvillefarmsupply.ca/kingcoleducks.com

Sharon Mushroom Farm Laxman Marsonia started Sharon Mushroom Farm in 1985 on a bet by his friends that he couldn’t make a successful business out of mushroom farming. He bought a 92-acre property with a small eight room mushroom farm and started to make his own compost. Wanting to learn best practices in mushroom farming, he travelled around the world learning from other growers and their facilities. Today, Sharon Mushroom Farm has grown into a large operation with 20 growing rooms. They sell various grades of white mushrooms across Canada and employ approximately 50 staff. Mr. Marsonia also owns the only mushroom farm in Quebec growing white mushrooms and Portobellos. The Montreal farm employs 140 people.

Food Safety and quality control are a big part of its operation. Sharon Mushroom Farm is SQF Certified. Mushrooms are grown on aluminum and galvanized horizontal beds in climate controlled rooms. There are twelve beds per room. The computer monitors the growing rooms 24/7, 365 days a year measuring various control points including air and compost temperatures, C02 levels, humidity, etc. The computer will alert them of any issues and if any control points are not within set limits. Sharon Mushroom Farm grows 95,000 lbs. of product per week, supplying grocery chains and wholesale markets. Sharon Mushroom Farm is a true family business with Laxman’s son and two son-in-laws having key roles in the company.

Roasted Potatoes

From the Kitchen of BJ Thompson, Thompson Potato Farm

Considerable experimentation was involved in the evolution of this recipe! Thanks to my very patient family who donated their taste buds over and over again until I got it just right. These delicious roasted potatoes have a crunchy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. -BJ Thompson

This basic recipe requires 1 lb (about 24 singles) of Yukon Gold Parisienne potatoes. Parisienne potatoes can usually be found in the deli section of your grocery store. If not, you can simply peel and dice your own Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes as a substitution. 1) Preheat oven to 425°F. 2) Put the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and continue to boil for 10 more minutes. Drain. 3) Mix the ingredients from one of the variations listed below. Add to the slightly cooled potatoes and stir gently. Place the Parisienne potatoes in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Make sure to leave room between each potato so they will cook evenly. 4) Bake for 30 minutes (turning once) until the outside is crispy brown and the potatoes can easily be poked with a toothpick.

Roasted Mushroom Tart with Béchamel and Fried Sage Recipe courtesy of Mushrooms Canada Recipe by Kathy of EatHalifax I can’t imagine a vegetarian who wouldn’t welcome this roasted mushroom tart with béchamel and fried sage on their holiday table. While it makes an impressive vegetarian main course to complement the array of Thanksgiving sides, it’s also perfect as an appetizer for any mushroom lover. 2 ½ lb mixed mushrooms (whole cremini, whole button, halved King oyster, whole enoki) 1 head of garlic, cloves removed and wpeeled ½ small lemon, sliced in rounds 3 tbsp olive oil 5 springs each fresh thyme and rosemary Salt and pepper, to taste 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed Béchamel: 6 tbsp butter 6 tbsp flour

Fried sage: ¼ cup oil Bunch of fresh sage, stems removed

2 cups milk Salt ¼ tsp nutmeg plus more to taste ½ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss together the mushrooms (except the enoki), garlic, lemon, olive oil, herbs, and a pinch of both salt and pepper. Spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast until golden brown but still tender, about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through. If using enoki mushrooms, add in the last 5 minutes. Remove the herb stalks and lemon slices.

frequently until thick and smooth, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg and cheese. Season to taste with salt, pepper and more nutmeg, if desired. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a larger square. Fold over the edges ½-inch to create a border. Prick the centre lightly with a fork. Bake 10 minutes. Pour the béchamel into the crust. If it all doesn’t fit without pouring over the edge, save it and serve with the tart. Bake an additional 10 minutes until set. Arrange the mushrooms and roasted garlic on top. Bake 5 minutes more or until the pastry is golden brown. For the fried sage, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the sage leaves and cook until crisp, only 2-3 seconds. Transfer to paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining leaves. Crumble over the tart to serve. Prep time: 15 minutes

Meanwhile, make the béchamel: melt the butter in a medium saucepan until hot and bubbling. Add the flour. Cook for 1 minute, whisking often. Whisk in the milk gradually. Bring to a boil. Cook, whisking

Vince’s Market Presents

Roasted Pork Loin with Apple Stuffing

Danielle Greco, R.H.N. and Natural Chef, runs the Power Up program at Vince’s Market which encourages customers to Engage, Educate, and Energize themselves through good food choices.

1 pork loin (large enough to feed the family plus leftovers), about 1.5 kg. Ask butcher to remove as much fat as desired 3 apples in season, cored and medium diced 8-10 fresh sage leaves Zest of 1 orange 1 fresh rosemary sprig Salt and pepper for seasoning 2 tbsp olive oil

Preheat oven to 400°F. With a boning knife or long, thin-bladed fillet knife, insert the knife through the side of each end of the loin, trying to

connect the two incisions to create a small pocket through the pork for stuffing. Combine the zest of the orange with apples and chopped sage, season to taste with salt and pepper. Insert all of the stuffing inside the loin. Generously season the outside of the loin with olive oil, chopped rosemary, and salt and pepper, ensuring to season the bottom and sides. With butcher twine, tie the loin like a traditional

roast. Place the loin on a roasting rack and roast for 30 minutes to sear the outside. Drop the heat to 330°F and finish roasting for about 45 to 55 minutes, until a thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Grilled Turkey Breast with Mushroom and Wild Rice Stuffing

Recipe courtesy of Mushrooms Canada Recipe developed by Isabelle of Crumb: A Food Blog 2 tbsp butter 200 g button mushrooms, thinly sliced 200 g shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper ¼ tsp salt ¼ cup chopped shallots 2 tbsp finely chopped celery ¾ cup cooked long grain and wild rice blend 3 tbsp dried cherries, roughly chopped 2 tbsp chicken broth 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 1 egg, lightly beaten 2 tbsp panko bread crumbs 1 boneless, skinless turkey breast half (about 3 lb) Salt and pepper 2 tsp olive oil 2 tsp dried herbes de Provence In a large heavy-bottomed skillet set over medium-high heat, heat the butter until melted and foamy. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue sautéing for 4 to 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft and browned, and have released most of their liquid. Add shallots and celery, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer or until the shallots are softened. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a large mixing bowl, and stir in the rice, dried cherries, broth, and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the egg and bread crumbs until well combined, and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to butterfly the turkey breast by slicing through the middle of the breast with the knife parallel to the cutting board, almost but not all the way through, then open up like a book.

Place the butterflied breast between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet, flatten to ½-inch thickness. Remove the plastic, and generously season the inside of the breast with salt and pepper. Spoon the cooled filling onto the left side of the turkey, then fold over the right side. Tie up with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals. If any stuffing escaped during this process, simply push it back in once the turkey breast is bundled up with twine (you can also secure the ends and the seam with toothpicks, if necessary). Rub the outside of the roast with olive oil, and sprinkle with herbes de Provence and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Lightly oil your grill, then preheat one side on high heat (or, if using a charcoal grill, pile the coals to one side). Sear the turkey breast over the hot side of the grill for about 4 minutes per side, or until well browned, then move to the cool side of the grill to finish cooking over indirect heat. Cook with the cover closed for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165°F for the centre of the stuffing. Tent loosely with foil and let stand for 15 minutes, then cut into thick slices and serve. Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
