6 / January 2023 The South Marysburgh Mirror JW Farms’ Delivery to Your Door (Continued from page 3) and Prego before joining the kitchen at Maple Downs Country Club in Vaughan. He’s chef/owner of JW Farms. Together, these two col- laborated in a catering com- pany before COVID stuck a stick in their wheels. Now they are making a name for themselves in South Marysburgh and around the County with their special line of dips and soups that are already available at PECish in Milford, and the Agrarian Market, Ralph’s Butcher, Foodland and other stores in Picton and PEC. Chef Mark manages the side of the business that de- velops and prepares soups made with meat protein while Gus (short for Gustavo) creates and makes dips and soups that do not have meat content. He is most proud of the range of dips they make from a base of sunflower seeds (seeds grown for hu- man consumption, not the black shelled version gener- ally grown in the County and intended as bird feed). A vegan with a resume that includes food produc- tion for network food shows, Gus sought an alternative to dairy products for the dips. “| love dips so | was in- trigued with experimenting with nuts but they were too expensive to use,” he says. The sunflower seed base allowed him to produce a product that has not only a delicious appeal for regular consumers, but that also meets the culinary require- ments of vegans, vegetarians and those who are lactose in- tolerant. Flavours such as gar- lic and chive, beet balsamic, dill pickle and chimichurri pes- to transport the usual nature of dips to the unique. Their products are already gaining a following. At the Mil- ford Fair in September, where they sold their dips and soup for the first time since moving to the County, they sold out of their stock in two hours. Marks says as they continue to expand their line of fresh, wholesome food, they'll be sourcing proteins and produce from local producers. What’s In Store - Home Delivery! The vision, Mark and Gus say, is for JW Farms to devel- op into an online store... jwfarms.ca...where people can order their products and have them delivered directly to the door. Alternatively, pick up at JW Farms on Mur- phy Road is also available. What’s more, Mark and Gus will soon launch a home- cooked meal of the week that can be picked up or delivered to homes as oven ready or that can be popped into freezer for future use. The plan is for the menu to change weekly. Prices for meals will range from about $20 to $25 each. Soups will sell for $10 to $15 ajar, depending on the con- tents, and dips will average $6 each.
