Getting ready to re-open the Dancing Pig Organic Farmers Market for the 2013 season!!

Farmers’ markets in Ontario are booming—and no wonder!

Shoppers love them because they can buy top-quality farm-fresh products directly from the person who produced them—and can often find products you won’t find anywhere else.

Communities love them because they bring people together and can turn once-deserted areas into hives of activity, attracting extra business for stores and restaurants nearby.

 Us, your local Farmer love it because we have fun and it lets us connect with you, our costumers who love what we sell and appreciate our hard work. They’re also an important source of income, helping farmers keep on doing what we love to do, so that Ontarians can keep on enjoying fresh local organic food.

We hope you find everything you’re looking for on our site today. See you soon—at the market!

 Today we have chickens hatching June 1st how cool is that? Not only will they breath life into our farm they will be antibiotic and hormone free a very welcomed addition.
 It's raining today so sweet potato planting will be delayed for a day or so but the welcomed rain will set all the wonderful vegetables planted yesterday in the fields. To dry,to wet, just right are things that are not always controlled by us so we learn how to adapt the best way we know how. i think some early morning errands in town can help justify this rainy day.

Gluten-free products

Incremental cost of Gluten-free (GF) products, an eligible medical expense.

Persons who suffer from celiac disease (gluten intolerance) are entitled to claim the incremental costs associated with the purchase of gluten-free (GF) products as a medical expense.
You do not qualify for the disability amount (line 316) based on the additional amount of time it takes to shop for or prepare GF products.

What is the "incremental cost"?

The incremental cost is the increased cost of purchasing a GF product as compared to the cost of a similar non-GF product. It is calculated by subtracting the cost of a non-GF product from the cost of a GF product. The calculation is shown below in the sample summary.

What items are eligible?

• Generally, the food items are limited to those produced and marketed specifically for GF diets. Such items include, but are not limited to, GF bread, bagels, muffins, and cereals.
• Intermediate items will also be allowed where the patient suffering from celiac disease uses the items to make GF products for their exclusive use. These include, but are not limited to, rice flour and GF spices.

What if there are several people consuming the GF products?

If several people consume the products, only the costs related to the part of the product consumed by the person with celiac disease are to be used in calculating the medical expense tax credit.

What documents do I need to support a claim for the medical expense tax credit?

If you are filing a paper return, include the following supporting documentation. If you are filing electronically keep the following supporting documentation in case we ask to see them at a later date:

• a letter from a medical practitioner confirming the person suffers from celiac disease and requires GF products as a result of that disease;
• a summary of each item purchased during the 12-month period for which the expenses are being claimed (a sample summary is shown below); and
• a receipt to support the cost shown in column (4) of each GF product or intermediate product claimed.
