Amazing Grace Bakery & Cafe is pleased to announce that we won "Best Coffeehouse" and "Best Sandwiches" in The Northland Reader for 2009.  We also took first place in the Duluth-Superior Magazine for "Best Sandwiches" and "Best Soup".  We could not have done it without our customers.  As always, "Be Brave, Be Kind, Don't Eat Bad Bread"! 
 
Recycling Food Waste
Written by Ronnie Mae Eastling   
Wednesday, 01 July 2009

 Did your mother ever tell you not to waste food?  Or that you could be a member of the ‘clean plate club’ if you ate all of your vegetables??  Well, whatever her reasoning was, she was on to something …

Did you know that Americans throw away an average of 1.3 pounds of food waste per person per day?!  That equals approximately 474.5 pounds per  person per year.  Studies done for the year 2000 showed that food scraps    accounted for 11.2% of landfill weight, which equates to about 25.9  MILLION tons of food waste!    Food waste is the third largest component of waste in this country.  At this point in the human story, landfills are inevitable.  Many of them are  near full and are a huge threat to our environment.  Isn’t it a crying shame that a lot of the problem is just food scraps?  Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to remedy this problem???  Well, it’s our lucky day, because there is...COMPOSTING FOOD WASTE!

Baby Steps to a Higher Quality

  I would like to update you on some exciting changes in products that have taken place.  We are now ordering from the food distributor UNFI .  UNFI is a leader in distributing natural and organic products.  Here’s a few things that are next to impossible to get through a regular distributor that we are now purchasing through UNFI: our peanut butter and shortening are non-transfat, our baking powder is aluminum free, our salsa is all natural, and our ketchup is organic.  We also have several bottled/canned cold drink options available that are free from high-fructose corn syrup!  (Three cheers for UNFI!!!) We are also working towards using more locally grown products.  We have been buying tomatoes through Bay Produce of Superior, WI for years.  Now some new ones to add to the list… We are proud to be using honey from the Home Sweet Homestead  honey farm in Dennison, MN.  Also, our pure maple syrup (available for a little bit extra) is from Simple Gifts of Duluth.  And as soon as the plants have some time to grow, we will be using more local produce.  A couple examples are... our pesto will be made with basil  from Chelsea Morning Farm of Two Harbors, and we hope to garnish the breakfast plates with edible flowers grown at Moosehorn Meadows Florals of Moosehorn River, MN.  We welcome and encourage your input on any and all of the ingredients/products we use here at the Grace… Thanks for reading.~Ronnie Eastling manager/buyer
