Growing Up Granola

You can't get a better breakfast, lunchtime snack or bedtime treat than our Growing Up Granola. It's been a mainstay of our fundraising initiative for years. The combination of oats, nuts, coconut, pumpkins seeds, canola oil and honey has kept customers coming back week after week unable to replicate the recipe themselves no matter how hard they try...we like to think it's all the love we put into making it. You can find the granola around town at the Thunder Bay Country Market, Sweet Escape Cake Cafe & Bakery, The Cheese Encounter and the Roots to Harvest Office.

Sweet Life Honey

Our Sweet Life Honey all starts with the bees... From the hives located on the Roots to Harvest Urban Farm the honey is collected by our interns at both the Youth  Garden Program and Urban Farm Program being extracted and spun on-site. The honey is filtered in all its nutritious goodness and jarred as a raw unpasteurized wildflower honey. With the whole process from bees to jars taking place within 1 km of the Roots to Harvest office it's about as local as it gets. The honey keeps for as long as you can resist eating it and sales help to support our work within the city. 

Bay City Cider

The Bay City Cider started with phone calls to our office from people with urban apple trees who had apples ripe and ready, but which they didn't want or couldn't use. Presto! Bay City Cider was born. Using only tree-picked apples, free from ground fall contaminants, the cider is fresh pressed  and is frozen raw immediately after pressing in 2L plastic jugs. Every jug contains the apples from several different trees giving each cider a unique and tasty flavour that will  leave you craving more.  Cider is good for 5-7 days after thawing, as it is unpasteurized.
