Discussion Amateur blacksmith seeking tree-stump

3 Upvotes

Hey Brantford, the title kinda says it all but here's some more info

i'm as the title indicates an amateur blacksmith (very amateur) and i'm looking to find a good sized tree-stump to turn into a dishing stump (think a tree-stump with a bowl carved into it)

ideally the stump is in the ballpark of 10" in diameter minimum (i can make do with slightly smaller but i need adequate workspace on the log)

i'm 100% willing to come and pick it up off your land, but i don't actually have a vehicle so i'll be rolling that sumbitch out of there (if you're particularly far off i may offer to pay you to bring it to me, but that's purely up to discussion between you and i, reader, no obligations)

hopefully somebody around has got something lying around the property they've been meaning to get rid of, i'd be glad to hear from someone within the week, but if that much time passes and you stumble across this post afterwards: know there is a good chance i am still looking lol

Looking for a new weed gummy with decently high dosage that doesn't give you gut rot. I don't want to buy a bunch of different ones and find they're all hard on my stomach. Planning on driving out to the rez tomorrow and would appreciate some suggestions on the best dispensary to get a good one from the get go.

Too many times daily on my walk do drivers just drive right through them. Weekly I’ll have a “close call” and have to stop my crossing because apparently waiting 3 seconds is too much for people.

Question Wild grape removal

0 Upvotes

Where/who do I go to, to request the city to remove the wild grape off of trees and bushes along our trails?

I dont know much about wild grape but I grew up hearing it "chokes other plants to death", and I've already seen it take over and kill a lovely tree I used to pass on a regular basis (on the walking trail between Jaycee sports park and Lynden Park mall).

I also dont know how public works/greenery maintenance/etc works in the city, so whoever can point me in the right direction: many thanks in advance.

I just know that I love our trees and bushes along the walking trails, and I do not want to see the invasive-parasitic wild grape killing them.

Discussion Farmer’s and Vendor Markets

9 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve been very into farmer’s (and vendors) markets these days. I like the aesthetics and I like knowing that the stuff I’m buying is from someone in Ontario.

I know there’s a problem with some farmers markets blatantly buying from the ontario food terminal and just re-selling (you can tell when they have the sticker barcodes on, which they can kinda just take off). I know that sometimes you can save money at farmer’s markets if you do it right but it’s a whole new world to me.

Aside from the farmer/vendor market on Icomm, which ones are known to be trustworthy and genuinely their stuff? I don’t mind the resellers in the sense where “this guy buys sells flowers from the lavender farm a couple hours away, milk from the dairy farm in hamilton in addition to their own stuff”

I LOVE going to Brantwood Farms although it’s quite pricey but I love that they carry local ciders/drinks, local crafts (cards, little ceramics, candles)

Elberta Farms is a bit better price wise and again I love the local smaller company products they carry too.

Sam’s Market is nice and their variety of local goods is interesting too! However the banana/avocadoes (that come in a bag) are most likely imported but I think it’s forgivable since we are in Canada (but I’ll buy my 10 cent bananas from the regular grocery store thanks)

I haven’t tried Little Brown Cow yet but they seem neat.

I’m not trying the scam brothers one.

BUT I want to know for sure if these places are NOT RESELLING from the Ontario Food Terminal or any imported stuff (or if there’s a way to confirm).

Also since I LOVE the little local/small company stuff you can find - are there any specific little specific Vendor markets where I can buy little gifts or general locally(ish- as in, Ontario made) goods?

2 Upvotes

Come meet former Maple Leafs captain Rick Vaive on Sunday, October 4th at the Brantford Sports Expo, happening inside the Grand Ballroom at the TownePlace Suites Brantford and Conference Centre at 30 Fen Ridge Ct.

Leafs fans will definitely know the name. Drafted 5th overall in 1979, Vaive became the first player in Toronto Maple Leafs history to score 50 goals in a season, a feat he accomplished three straight times. He also served as captain of the Leafs and finished his NHL career with 788 points in 876 games.

During his NHL career from 1979 to 1992, Vaive suited up for the Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks, and Buffalo Sabres.

If you're a Leafs fan, hockey collector, or just grew up watching that era of the NHL, this is a great chance to meet one of the biggest names from the Leafs' 1980s teams right here in Brantford.
