Authentic PEI Products

What does local mean? When you look on the package and the product says packaged in Canada, you have to ask yourself where it started out?

I know I wasn't able to digest beef for a number of years. Then my son started farming his own, chickens, eggs, beef and pork about 5 years ago. He started feeding animals the way the ole folks did years ago, he mixed his own feed made up his own combination of grains, minerals,  and hay in the winter months and they are pasture-raised with a higher protein diet in the summer months.  

The taste amazing, the quality and care that goes into feed g animals results in the texture, marbleling and tenderness for sure. I am able to eat his beef and enjoy the fact that getting older didnt mean every steak and roast was going to need to be boiled for hours to be able to eat.

These are a couple of small steaks he cuts up for me. So ya it is a big job but the end result is: we know where are food is grown, we enjoy the good taste, and now we raise the best tasting chicken on the island.

Matthew is my son and I, hi I'm cindy, have bee  cooking at events around Prince Edward Island for years. However due to Covid 19 this year all the events on Island have bee  cancelled. 

Well perhaps if we knew that a year ago we wouldnt have raised so many chicken's, pork and beef. Then what do you do whe  the feed Bill's are  coming in and 

Your not selling a sausage or anything at market. You build your own market.

This is the winsloe farm market run out of a dedicated spot in the front of our home where people can come in and buy local meats and foods we grow ourselves and produce into foods we sell such as chicke  pies, beef pies, bacon meat loaf, lasagna, oh and a bunch of other goodies. We grow a little each week. With rhubarb in season I'm making rhubarb chutney, a great tasting relish to add to meats.

 So here is the freezer stocked. 

my rhubarb chutney $6

we sell marinated bags of chicken as well.

yes we make our own sausages from the chicken Matthew raises. We have about 7 varieties of sausages, 5 different burgers and about 4 flavours of marinated chicken chunks onto skewers for kabobs. 

I like to bake so I get ti do the chi cken pies.

well that should be enough to let you know authentic food PEI should mean it is grown, raised, and food is produced from the food you grow, here local, on Prince Edward Island.

Know what you grow.
