They inherited the trailer on the farm they are renting on the edge of an Amish community, some members of which help grow the produce, in Fenelon Falls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is similar to what a lot of cottagers and locals would have done on the lakes in Muskoka, before [electrical]  refrigeration became common in the \u201860s and \u201870s. Some island cottages still have their ice boxes and equipment, although I haven&#8217;t found anyone that has used them recently!\u201d said Sober-Williams.<\/p>\n<p>On a recent ice-harvesting day, they used a giant circular saw to cut the ice into blocks, and a conveyor belt to pull them out of the water and onto a wooden sleigh.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_94526\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94526\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94526\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/02\/Eat-Local-Muskoka-ice-cutting.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/02\/Eat-Local-Muskoka-ice-cutting-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/02\/Eat-Local-Muskoka-ice-cutting-630x472.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/02\/Eat-Local-Muskoka-ice-cutting-750x562.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/02\/Eat-Local-Muskoka-ice-cutting.jpg 750w\" alt=\"A circular saw makes short work of cutting the ice (@eatlocalmuskoka \/ Instagram)\" width=\"750\" height=\"562\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-94526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A circular saw makes short work of cutting the ice (@eatlocalmuskoka \/ Instagram)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe have some incredible neighbours that help us with cutting, lifting, and hauling,\u201d said Sober-Williams. \u201cIt\u2019s a community effort, sharing the equipment and camaraderie needed to fill everyone&#8217;s ice houses.

(Photo: Muskoka Heritage Place)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What can you expect from Eat Local Muskoka in 2021? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eat Local Muskoka offers its members seasonal local produce boxes, plus additional farm products like raw honey, wood-fired bread, grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, and bulk produce for preserves.<\/p>\n<p>They use a CSA (community-supported agriculture) model. Members order and pay for their food boxes\u2014essentially purchasing a share of the harvest\u2014prior to the season. Four seasonal boxes are available\u2014spring, summer, fall, and winter\u2014with the entire program running from mid-May to early December. Members can order all four boxes at the start of the year at a discounted price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea of Eat Local came to me in 2015 as I started exploring a farming career, while supporting other local farms,\u201d said Sober-Williams. \u201cRenting land in Muskoka proved to be too challenging for me both financially and logistically with acidic soil and wildlife pressures, so moving my farm to Fenelon Falls has allowed us to grow sustainably, pay staff fair wages, and still be close to home. This will be our sixth year working cooperatively, and I&#8217;m really proud of the quality of produce we&#8217;re able to grow for our members, while costing less than what you&#8217;d pay for organic in the grocery store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eat Local Muskoka now has a team of six full-time employees that manage both Colin\u2019s Market Garden and the local food boxes. They are also working closely with seven other small-scale organic farms to provide variety and consistency.<\/p>\n<p>They have invested in two, new high tunnels to expand their spring box capacity, which is their most popular season. They are also growing twice as many strawberries and tomatoes this year for the boxes and are investing in staff, sharing more responsibilities, and moving toward year-round, sustainable employment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur first deliveries in 2020 were during April lockdown, so we were really motivated to provide some reassurance to members that our local food system is secure and functional,\u201d said Sober-Williams. \u201cThe pandemic has really pushed us to grow faster than we were expecting, and so far we have been able to meet the challenge without raising prices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They have six pick-up points around Muskoka, including at the back of The Great Vine in Huntsville on Wednesdays. They also partner with restaurants including 3 Guys and a Stove, The Artisan House, Crossroads Rosseau, and Arowhon Pines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s our strong belief that working together, we can accomplish so much more than we can alone. Investing in grassroots initiatives like this actually helps us to keep our prices low, and quality high,\u201d said Sober-Williams.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more at <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eatlocalmuskoka.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eatlocalmuskoka.ca<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox three times per week!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eat Local Muskoka is taking an old-school\u2014and more sustainable\u2014approach to keeping its produce cool this year.
