Fall is a great time to think of food in Western Ontario. Living
as we do close to the land it is always impressed on us the bounty
of the harvest. Everywhere we look are piles of things grown
during the summer. Crates of apples. Giant bins of beans. Whole
fields of ripe pumpkins in the sun.
So this month our fall food issue features some stories of the
produce of the land. Fall just wouldn't be fall in Canada without
apples and apple cider and apple jelly and apple butter. Many of
us make trips to the orchards to pick our own fruit these days.
One such operation is the Lassaline Orchards near Goderich. We
visited there this month.
A sweet product of the summer is flowing from honey houses
across the country these days. Apiaries are bottling and packing
the sweet gold of the fields gathered with the help of millions of
bees. One of the larger apiaries in Western Ontario is that of
Russell Fear near Wingham. We talked about the business of
bees with the Fears.
Getting away from food our profile story this month by Glenna
Marr tells of a local boy made good who longs to be a local boy
again. Dr. William Andrews formerly of Clinton has become well
known as a scientist and writer but he is also very concerned with
ecology and spends a good part of his time back in Huron county
on a piece of land he owns near Belgrave.
Though he has become well known for his music. Bob Burchill
of Dublin has never really left home. He's managed to combine
his music career with his love of the land by farming part of the
year and going on the road to entertain part of the year. His story
is told in this issue.
Coming off the road to entertain has been the Road Show
Theatre Co. of Guelph which has settled down in a former
Guelph church after its earlier wandering days touring through
Muskoka. Rex Buckle and his company have struggled to stay
alive and become accepted in the community but success seems
in sight.
Just a few of the features in this month's issue. We hope you'll
enjoy it.'
