SATURDAY MORNINGS WITH THE PENINSULA’S FINEST!
See you here every Saturday June 6 – Oct 10
The next market is on SATURDAY, AUGUST 22nd
We’ve reached the stage of summer when there’s more availability of wonderful fresh food than there is kitchen to hold it, so indulge, preserve, share! It’s a wonderful thing!
Captain Pete is away fishing this week, and – brace yourselves! – Baloo Bear Bakery is away this week as well, but Flour Power will be making a guest appearance at the Community Table, so there will still be limited baking. Of course our growers will have tables full of fresh produce and fruit – and if you haven’t tried Thatch Creek’s magnificent yellow watermelons yet, they’ll have lots available this week. We also welcome back Botanicals by Alison, Little Acre Soap, and Queen B Welding!
We’re also welcoming back market favourite CHARLIE BURTON as our entertainment this week. Charlie has been playing at our market almost as long as there’s been a market, so plan to stop and enjoy his mellow music once you’ve done your shopping.
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.
