Meredith started making this very special recipe using the finest
ingredients including fresh ginger root and honey raised on her organic farm. During the long, cold winters she would lovingly prepare this syrup on the old-fashioned wood burning stove in her kitchen. The medicinal qualities of ginger and honey have been known throughout history. Ginger alone can help to alleviate symptoms of every
thing from indigestion to the common cold. Meredith learned that ginger, when eaten, has a powerful and warming effect on the body. This warmth was exactly what she was looking for after a few chilly hours of doing her chores. Meredith’s Ginger Syrup is sweetened only with honey and prepared in such a way to maintain the honey’s integrity. In the fall of 2009, The Dragon’s Den, based on the CBC TV show was held in Meaford. This was a special opportunity for residents to present new ideas for business in the community. Despite her stage fright, Meredith proudly took her syrup to the Dragons and won first place! Now more than ever, it is important that you feel good about what you eat and that what you eat makes you feel good about yourself! This is a syrup made in an old world way with fresh new ideas behind it!
“Immunity for the community” sums up how Meredith feels about her syrup. It is about the relationship of our food to us and about us in relationship to our communities and the world beyond. So enjoy your Ginger Syrup and Ginger Elixir!
