SATURDAY MORNINGS WITH THE PENINSULA’S FINEST!

The next market is on SATURDAY, AUGUST 8th

Last Saturday’s market was one of the best ever! Great music, people dancing, shopping, talking, enjoying the weather and our wonderful community. We’re blessed with so many outstanding growers on the peninsula, and we think we have the best of the best at the market, especially as the list of summer vegetables grows and grows. The variety, flavours, colours and health benefits of local food makes shopping a pleasure!  HEARTBRIDGE HERB & FLOWER FARM joins us this week with culinary and medicinal herbs regeneratively grown at Sandown.  And ABIELLE AMOUR APIARY will be back for the second and final time this year, so plan to stock up on their exquisite honeys and beeswax candles!

Bough and Burl’s beautiful woodwork, Grasshopper Creative’s must-have pottery, and Ocean September Style’s unique hand-made clothing will all be there, and, of course, Baloo Bear Bakery’s popular baking, and Mama Musey’s Peirogis are now market staples.

Because music is such a big part of our market, we’re thrilled to welcome back the ISLAND B’YS who had everyone singing along with their mix of Celtic and popular music.

BEYOND THE CURB is set up every week to provide recycling collection as a way to increase recycling convenience for residents for materials that are not collected at the curb, specifically styrofoam and flexible plastic.  This program makes it easy to be part of the solution, and we’re delighted to provide the space and encouragement to make it a success!

We’re excited that the market is now part of the  BC Association of Farmers’ Markets Nutrition Coupon Program. This program is a healthy eating initiative that supports farmers’ markets and strengthens food security across British Columbia.  They’ll have a small table set up at the market with additional information.
