SATURDAY MORNINGS WITH THE PENINSULA’S FINEST!

The next market is on SATURDAY, JUNE 13th.  We had a tremendous response to the start to our 19th season of bringing fresh local food and quality crafts, baking and music to our community.

The growers will bring more seasonal produce as the summer weather kicks in, with strawberries, lots of fresh greens, and even eggplant available already.  Mama Musey Pierogis were a big hit at the first market, and they’ll be with us all season.  New vendor RARITY FASHION joins us this week with beautiful, sustainable children’s clothing, and DORADO will be there with small batch women’s clothing specializing in ethically sourced cotton and alpaca wool yarns.

The VICTORIA MASTER GARDENERS will be at this week’s Learning Table providing up-to-date information on reliable and environmentally sustainable horticultural practices for our region.

This week’s music will be provided by DAVID CORY and JOHN SMITH.  They play a mix of originals and covers from the genres of folk/country/soft rock from the 60’s to present day.

The CRD piloted a program called BEYOND THE CURB at several farm markets last year, and this summer, they’re bringing the program to the North Saanich Farm Market!  They’ll be 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!
