Jon with co-host and past guest Darren Howlett welcome Leah Weinberg to Edible Valley. Regular co-host Blayne is away with another commitment and was disappointed to miss this interview. Weinberg's Good Food is a recent addition to the Comox Valley food scene. Located at the Buckley Bay Petro-Canada station, on the bottom side, beside Fanny Bay Oysters Seafood Shop. Weinberg's is a small independently operated store that focuses on local and organic food. Striving to provide healthy food for their own family brought the store into fruition. Along with a marvelous selection of great foods, they also have local made crafts and artisan products. With the love of good food only slightly topping a great appreciation for quality coffee, Weinberg's also serves great espresso and an assortment of your favorite coffee beverages using beans roasted at Creekmore's Coffee in Coombs.

Eatmore Sprouts has been a symbol of Comox Valley organic farming for decades with their little operation on the north end of Courtenay, and spreading their lovely product all around western Canada. This episode of Edible Valley we welcome Angie and Amy, two talented ladies left with the enviable task of re-vitalizing the dormant market garden on the Eatmore site. With copious amounts of beautiful organic compost they have quickly created a wonderful environment to grow a large variety of vegetables, from summer squash, spinach, carrots, asian greens, pumpkins, kales, broccoli and so much more. Angie and Amy hope to continue to market this produce all winter long at the Comox Valley Farmers Market, as well as selling at Seeds Food Market and Edible Island. Thank you ladies for your story and input on our local food scene. See you at the Market.
