Dear Market Community, It’s been a while! My name is Aanastasia, and I am guest-writing the market news this week. Some of you may remember me from when I wore the hat of Data and Inventory Manager for the online market during the early days of the pandemic. I am excited and grateful to continue […]

Yes, that’s right – August 7-14 is Farmers’ Market Week! Farmers Markets Ontario describes it as:“A chance to celebrate the wonderful experience of shopping and supporting local farmers’ markets. It is extremely important that our association works together to showcase to consumers your efforts in creating the best farmers’ markets in Ontario! Farmers’ Market Week […]

However, we do still need your help, so please continue with any amount you are able to contribute. Our Board of Directors thanks you as well for your support […]

  What a hot couple of days it’s been! But not even heat warnings and threats of rain deterred our lovely vendors and customers from yet another beautiful market Thursday 🙂 Stone fruits are back in full force, meaning we’ve got tons of plums, nectarines and peaches which are the perfect refreshing snack for such […]

Hi folks, and thanks for “tuning in”! It’s me, Nicole, writing to you this week, so “hello”!   So why the “Matrix” you ask? Or “what does that have to do with a farmer’s market?”   A fair ask! You see, this week’s newsletter is largely dedicated to, or (partially) guest-written by, Chang Liu. (If […]

We made it through our first (somewhat) rainy market day, with flying colours….so much so that it resulted in a rainbow for the whole city to see! But seriously, a big shoutout and thank you to everyone who came out and supported us on such a gloomy day! Including the lovely musical guests and Clay […]
