USDA Cuts $1 Billion in Local Food Funding: Schools, Farmers, and Food Banks Brace for Impact

The #USDA has terminated two programs, #LocalFood for #Schools and #LocalFood#Purchase #Assistance, resulting in a $1 billion cut to local food purchases for schools and #Food Banks. This decision, made under the #Trump administration, has faced opposition from various #stakeholders, including #students, #parents, #teachers, #farmers, and #Democratic leaders, who argue it will negatively impact #ChildNutrition and #LocalEconomies. Advocates urge contacting elected officials and supporting alternative funding for local #FoodInitiatives.

As Annie and Aretha sang, Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves. For International Women's Day, I chatted with a couple of awesome female solo founders of food production companies: Morgan Mitchell of Green Goddess and Becky Prime of Beck's Broth

Whether they're nurturing a new generation of farmers, continuing a legacy, creating new flavours or making it easier to find tastes of home, Waterloo-Wellington's Black food entrepreneurs are helping to shape our food scene and add to the nation conversation.

Day 15 of 30 Days of Local Food: Azores Bakery

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Joe and Anna Couto buying Cambridge’s Azores Bakery. Known for their Portuguese buns and breads, available in mainstream grocers in Southwestern Ontario. Attached to their Elgin Street bakery is their shop, which hosts a trove of Portuguese and European food and household products. They’ve also got sweet and hot counters, serving traditional Portuguese food. Their caldo verde is what’s needed during these snow storms, but for me, their bifanas and grilled chorizo are must-haves.

Azores Bakery: 244 Elgin Street, Cambridge
