![]() Other nut butters are available, of course, but walnuts and almonds are more water intensive and less versatile than peanut butter, which can be used in a variety of soups and sauces as well as on toast. Like pulses, peanuts are naturally a sustainable crop that demands little water, has nitrogen-fixing properties and, when planted in rotation with other crops, reduces soil erosion. ![]() Palm oil-free peanut butter: Manilife, Meridian Hodmedod’s baked beans taste at least as good as Heinz’s, and its carlin peas are an excellent British substitute for chickpeas. ![]() The nodules increase organic matter by feeding microbial life which, when it dies, “ensures carbon is locked into the soil”. Then there’s their ability to fertilise the soil, using root nodules containing bacteria which convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia – “so they don’t need any artificial fertilisers, which degrade the soil,” continues Meldrum. Being rich in protein, they are perfect as a substitute for or supplement to meat, so that we consume less of it. In fact, Josiah Meldrum of Hodmedod’s – purveyor of British pulses – is almost embarrassed by how positive pulses are for the environment. They are storable, nutritious, grow easily and abundantly in the UK, and are great for soil health. Pulses are truly the holy grail of store cupboard goods, says Lang. In theory, dried fruits and spices have a low environmental impact – but this is increased if they are quickly freeze dried rather than dried slowly in the sunshine. For example, buying dried pulses and cooking them yourself will reduce the energy expended on packaging and transporting cans, but it entails more emissions than in a factory where the process is streamlined. “There are social criteria, health criteria, embedded carbon and embedded water ,” says Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City, University of London and the person who coined the phrase “food miles”. But what about the items in our store cupboard – the sauces, spices, condiments, spreads and ingredients that are canned, jarred or dried? How do we choose them so as to inflict as little damage on the planet as possible? Our primary focus is the rivers in the state of Ohio, but we can get you onto waters in other states in the Alley.W hen it comes to fresh food, we know what we should do: buy local, eat less meat, look for fish approved by the Good Fish Guide. We fish both the Fall run from October-December and the Spring spawning run from March-May. Through our partnership with Steelhead Alley Outfitters we’re able to introduce you to these amazing waters with epic numbers of fish. The Vermilion, Conneaut, Grand, Chagrin, Rocky, and several other streams make up this tremendously productive fishery. They don’t call the tributaries along the south shore of Lake Erie “Steelhead Alley” for no reason. Give us a call or stop by the shop to learn more. You probably won’t see another angler all day and you might come home with some epic tales. Some are hard to access, others no one has thought to fly fish. We target smallmouth bass, pike, muskie, steelhead, and some other “bonus” species. You owe it to yourself to spend a day (or days!) exploring the Huron. ![]() The Huron has something for everyone whether it’s pitching streamers into cover, fishing big bugs in the dark, or taking advantage of wonderful dry fly fishing. There are areas where you would swear you were up north, but you’re just minutes from home. Even though the river has gained popularity over the last 10 years we’ll help you find solitude between its banks. Although streamer patterns take the lion’s share of fish each year other techniques have their time and place. This designated Blue Ribbon Smallmouth stream fishes well from February through November. #Jars new river full#Schultz Outfitters is the only full time fly fishing guide service working the entire Huron River watershed.Īccessibility is easily found in prime fly-fishing locations. Flowing 125 miles from its origin in Oakland County, to the mouth at Lake Erie, the Huron is a varied and productive fishery. The Huron River is located just minutes from Metro Detroit, and is truly a gem of a Smallmouth stream. ![]()
