Home Gardening Series (part 1): Growing Garlic Scapes
Gardening, for many people, is a uniquely fulfilling leisure pursuit. From the wind that blows across your face, to the rich and fertile smell of the earth, there are few better ways of quieting anxieties, stilling emotions and regaining a truer perspective on life.
Follow us as our garden comes alive this spring summer with garlic scapes among other vegetables and fruit including scotch bonnet pepper, callaloo greens and peas. We hope to highlight what it means for us to value the earth and the bounty that it provides.
See the time lapse in photography. Learn about garlic scapes, how to cook with them, and get recipes. Also get links to resources to learn about growing food.
Many can enjoy fresh mangoes as a tasty treat or prepare them in various dishes. To determine a ripe mango, gently press it with your finger. If it leaves a dent, it is ripe and ready to eat. Here are some ways you can include mangoes in your diet.
RicherEarth Vegan Eats strives to operate as an eco-conscious business by reducing our carbon "food print" through collective climate action, and there’s much to learn about the ways in which we can achieve this.
The chocolate zucchini vegan cake is literally out of this world and a must try! My go to salad dressing is the poppyseed dressing and has been a hit wherever I have served it to my family. I could go on and on about the amazing products from RicherEarth Vegan Eats as they truly are made with love!

This past January, I went to the Winter Market at Terra Greenhouses in Hamilton and came across a booth with RichEarth Herbed Poppyseed Vegan salad dressing. I decided to buy a bottle to give it a try, although I'm not Vegan. Turns out to be the best salad dressing ever. So light and flavourful, I then wasn't interested in any other dressing. Sadly, with Covid developments, the Winter Markets were cancelled (along with most other things!), so I wasn't able to go back for more. I checked online and was able to contact owner Eartha. She offered to deliver several bottles when she was coming to town. When she and her partner Richard (thus the name RichEarth!) came by, they also brought a sample of their delicious chocolate cake and a lovely fresh salad. Can't say enough about the quality and flavour of the food they prepare. I'm hoping to find their products available in the Hamilton area very soon!

All of the food I received was outstanding! The Shepherd's pie was so tasty and inventive. The soup was warm and filling. The cake was paired with a lemon icing that was delicate yet impactful enough to balance the chocolate. It was truly a feast that had my whole family happy. Thank you so much for preparing delightful food with our health in mind!

We were fortunate to meet Richard & Eartha at the Women’s show in November 2019. This was my first time experiencing their brand (Richard & Eartha’s smiles), their beautiful presentation, and their wonderfully put together meal options. Our love affair began with the Jamaican Pumpkin Soup and then the Plantain Panini. The ladies of New Haven Funeral Centre enjoyed RicherEarth for the three days we attended the show. This was the only food we ate. So thrilled with this company we used their services a few weeks later for a company event - which was a complete success! We taste the time, quality, and love they put into their meals with every bite.

Richard and Eartha are amazing and their food is Awesome. Their salad dressings are so yummy and the chocolate cake is to die for. Thank you for creating these awesome vegan foods. Looking forward to trying their soups but I know they will be just as awesome as their other products.

RicherEarth Vegan Eats is my favourite plant-based food service in the city! Their dishes express healthy, clean, flavourful creativity as they add their touch of Jamaican food culture to their menu. The red pea soup is so filling and warming with the scotch bonnet flavour and heat to put you to sleep! Soooo Good! Not to mention the jerk seitan with rice and peas and callaloo, as well as the other side options available. Their salads are crispy and refreshing especially with their own dressings, the poppyseed being my favourite. And I usually top everything off with the lemon poppyseed loaf which is absolutely delicious! Yes, I've tried almost everything on the menu and looking forward to eating much more!

We have recently purchased several containers of Rich Earth Vegan (Herbed Poppyseed) vinaigrette dressing. It is absolutely fabulous. We put in on salads, shakes and use it to cook with. It has propelled us into a healthier diet lifestyle!!

RicherEarth made our event so much easier than we could have expected. They provided high quality food and service for our luncheon event! The amount of food provided was so much more than we expected. The set up team took extra time to ensure everything for our event was properly organized. We had the smoothie bar, salads, delicious pumpkin soup and their spectacular zucchini cake is absolutely out of this world! Our guests fell in love with the flavours in their mouths and everyone was obsessed with their famous poppy seed dressing. We will definitely be using them for future events!

I am a salad cheerleader, as everyone who follows me on Insta and fb knows! When Covid hit I was at hame more often and started creating easy and nutritious salads daily.
My dressing of choice has always been olive oil and balsamic vinegar, but after trying RicherEarth Vegan Eats Herbed Poppyseed Dressing I have a second delicious option.
As a fan of poppyseed I love this sweet dressing. Created with organic ingredients such as extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup, this vinaigrette will add a pop of flavour to your salads and when drizzled with crudities.
Quality ingredients and being crafted with love makes all the difference when it comes to creating the outstanding taste of this dressing. Try it for yourself...and enjoy!
