What is Fresh Ginger?
The quirkiness of life is nothing short of fascinating and why not comment on it? Fresh Ginger is me, gardener, beer and cider maker, hobby chef (now a gluten free one), knitter, future sustainable agriculture farmer, folk music lover and my personality… spicy!

Hi Ginger,
I just got your post about spelt products. I am wheat/gluten intolerant, but spelt does not bother me at all. If you’re concerned you could try the white spelt - the whole grain is a little rougher. Just a thought…let me know how it works for you.
Have a lovely day!

Fresh Ginger,
I caught your site because of its references to Traverse City. We, Traverse Magazine team, are starting a new free e-newsletter about food and wine of our area. I would like to invite you to subscribe, especially because of your affiliation with the area’s produce. I should have a subscription link off of our home page by the end of next week. I’d love to hear what you think and what you’d be interested in seeing in the newsletter.

You had a question on Mahanandi blog abt Gluten free Asafoetida. I am the one who is doing the guest series on spices for that blog. Just wanted to let you know that Supreme Spice Asafoetida extract is gluten free too. You can visit http://www.SupremeSpice.com and get more details or you can contact me.
Thanks.

Hello Ginger,
Just thought I would pop by and welcome you to GTB (Green Thumb Bloggers).
Loving your site, and am amazed at how much great info you have. I will be visiting here quite often, once I get my apple trees up and going. Any recommendations of type I should grow?
Good luck and welcome to the club!
Rob, sorry for the delayed reply! I would recommend planting honey crisp apples, they are great for everything, fresh, baking, sauce. I will ask my dad if there is something else the backyard apple tree owner should have. Honey crisp is a later variety, so I would plant an earlier variety too. Thanks for stopping by!

Dear Ginger,
I have known about spelt for over 20 years and am still amazed by the stories told by people who are in search of a healthy, good tasting product that is truly a nurturing food.
I saw where you brew your own beer. Spelt was the original beer that we know of today. Hildegaard of Bingen, 11th century mystic, used spelt in all of her cures.She is credited with adding hops to the process. She long had used the “grog” as an elixir by adding different herbs and spices. When she added the hops it forever changed the nature of the beer by acting as an antioxidant and preservative as well as by forever changing the taste.

Hi Ginger!
Synchronicities as they may be, I was led to your site through a series of links. Funny part is the amount of similarities…same blogspot layout, gluten-free, gardener, lansing michigan. One question anywhere around the Lansing area to get gluten-free beer?
Looking forward to reading more on your blog…you’ve got a lot of great stuff here.
Thanks for the resource!

Hi Ginger,
I found to your site through 101 Cookbooks, where you responded to my request for an oat substitute. I enjoy your blog, and will be using it as a resource.
Thanks!
Danielle,
Hi and thanks for checking out my blog! Cheese! I love cheese and hope to give up my job and be a cheese maker and brewmistress someday. I noticed in your blog that your hubby loves Chimay, are you still in the Chicago area? If so, you have been to the Hop Leaf I hope! I love that bar, mussels and pomme frites (gluten free to boot). We go every time we are there.
Where can I find a Tomme de Savoie in Michigan? It sound great!
I will be using your blog as a resource as well!

Hi Ginger,
I just started a prepared foods line, called Food Matters, which makes lasagna. I saw you posted a comment on celiac chics mentioning you wish we delivered to Michigan. I just scrolled through your blog and it looks really neat. How cool..you make your own beer?!
If you are interested in trying our lasagna, we can ship anywhere in the United Sates via Fed-ex. I hope to hear from you soon.
Hey there! Just wanted to let you know, I tried to post a comment on your latest menu and the link seemed broken. It all sounds good, though, and I love the pics.
