What are you doing this Saturday? Maybe I'll see you at the farmer's market down at the Bondar Pavilion. I can't think of a better way to welcome the warmer weather (by the way, it is supposed to get up to 29 C on Saturday) and get in tune with the summer months. Despite the fact that this season is a late starter, I have my bike revved up and my basket fastened tight and hope to come home with a few precious picks evens if it means an armload full of rhubarb. Once the season gets rolling you get to benefit from supporting local farmers; the insane amounts of eye-popping produce, which is often less costly than the mass-produced stuff at the supermarket; and you get to meet your neighbors, or at least elbow your neighbors aside while fighting over that last pound of perfect green beans or cherry tomatoes. Besides vegetables, you will also find a variety of baking, crafts, honey, maple syrup, cheese, preserves, and local fruits in season.
See you there,
Saturday June 7 from 8am to 12pm
