Darren Howlett and Jonathan Frazier join up again to talk food. In this episode of Edible Valley Food Facts, the boys sit down to talk chicken. Poultry being such an important part of many of our diets, we thought it would be fun to look into where it comes from and how it gets to our plate. With many questions about the terms used to describe chicken we did some investigating to find out some of the differences between organic, free range , and free run. Also we tried touching in on grading , inspections, breeds and classification. With an amazing amount of information out there to learn the two of us have had a chance to scratch the surface of this interesting subject.

Our great pleasure to bring to you our friend Dr. Don Wilson to the Edible Valley studio. Don has been following the show since last fall, and was happy to come in to talk about the Paleo lifestyle, indigenous foods, and oolican oil! From the early days in Bella Bella eating wild seafood, to today searching out the cleanest foods possible in "Paleo Paradise", Don has much to share about the journey to heath and wellness. Thanks Don for teaching us all a number of things for vitality, avoiding illness, fermenting (find Sandor Katz book here) and the microbiome!

We failed to get organized and secure a guest for this week, so it is a chance for a catch up show with Jon and Blayne.
Blayne has been busy, touring around the island visiting people and places. He also signed up for an online Permaculture Design Course. The course is offered by Geoff Lawton, arguably the foremost instructor of Permaculture in the world, and is based at the Permaculture Research Institute in Australia. Blayne is also trying to create a list of protein producers in the Comox Valley doing it right, pasture and grass based, with no G.M.O. feed for hogs or chickens. If you have any input please join the Comox Valley Paleo group on Facebook.
Jon has been working hard in the Cafe, getting set to launch a new menu, and ramping up for the ever busy summer season. He is also taking part in the B.C. Shellfish Festival Gala Dinner. This event is sold out, and promises to be a special meal for all in attendance. The N.V.I.C.A. installation dinner is coming up soon, with a pig roast at Dove Creek hall. Should be delicious!

Something new to the Edible Valley podcast are episodes featuring Darren Howlett. We have asked Darren to research various ingredients, from rutabaga to cinnamon. The sky is the limit in Darren's research and what facts he can dig up. This episode he was asked to look at the delicious tuna fish. With many varieties in the sea, this is a subject that has many talking points. Enjoy!

After much hard work completed by Jon, the Edible Valley studio is up and running and it was time to invite a guest to join us in studio. We were lucky to be joined by chef and author Joseph Forest, chef-in-resident at Innisfree Farm in Royston. After 25 plus years in the conventional restaurant and catering business, Joseph was chosen to join the team at Innisfree. He is now learning about food as medicine, ancestral ways of eating, and traditional ways of preserving the harvest. Joseph and Blayne could talk for hours about these subjects and will have many more meetings over the summer. Thanks Joseph!
