Half year habit

New Year's resolutions seem to be a focus for many people when the year rolls around.  Have you ever heard that the best day to get started with something is "today"?  Well it is.  We're half way through this year and any day can be the start of something new, something exciting, something unexpected.

We've got an easy new habit for you.  Consider the Farmers' Market as a weekend destination this year.  Not only for buying fresh local food but also to see fresh local faces.  Our community is ever-changing and it's exciting to see and meet the faces you already know and the new faces that are joining us.  Many times new residents show up at the farmers' market just days after they've moved here.   

This new habit may mean that you come to shop, it may be that you just come with a friend for a fresh cup of coffee or a smoothie that you can enjoy in the sun or shade in a relaxing environment.  Do you like to be in the center of the bustle?  Choose a picnic table in the center of the action.  If you prefer a quiet corner to share a conversation, there are plenty of those on the grounds too.  

Did you know that the Farmers' Market is actually located on the Exhibition Grounds that have been dedicated to local agriculture and livestock?  We share this parkland with Therapeutic Riding and Trail Riders as well.  The Exhibition Grounds have been a part of our community for a very long time.  Come on up and enjoy them with us every Saturday from 10:30 - 12:30 and Sundays from 12:30 - 2:30.

The market has a lot of new vendors this year, some are woodworkers, florists and farmers.  We've got a few more food vendors and bakers joining us in the coming weeks as well.  The market focuses on seasonal eating so be sure to come and enjoy what's ripe and ready week by week.
