Smoky Valley Goat Cheese is a new vendor at our market this week bringing their wonderful farmstead cheeses... goat cheeses (think chèvre, feta, brie, valency and St. Maure) and artisan cow cheeses (think raclette, Cardiff with sun dried tomato, havarti, gruyere). Everything is done on the farm, from raising and milking the herd through to pasturizing the milk and making the cheese.

A.I.G Produce (Osoyoos) has many fresh apple varieties being picked from their fields in BC. This week, be on the look out for the near-famous honey crisp apple - known for being very crisp, sweet-tart and juicy. As well, GALA apples are on special, by the case load: $10 for 12 pounds of apples. Ambrosia, is another delicious variety that will be in stock. This home-grown originates from BC. It is a favourite amongst many for it's crispness, creamy colouring (with blush hues) and because it does not turn brown quickly, when sliced.
Andy's Finest Jerky was formed in late 2010 after its founder
Andy discovered that his products were becoming ever increasingly
popular. Starting from a small smoker in his backyard, Andy had supplied
his product to family and friends and soon demand outstripped supply.
Andy's Finest Jerky make and offer for sale beef jerky made from AAA
graded Alberta beef. Sliced
and seasoned to perfection then naturally smoked to its finest. Flavors include:
Original, teriyaki, peppered, hot & spicy, honey garlic. Be sure to stop by and ask for a sample 
momstown will be back at the info tent doing a craft with young children who come to our market, so be sure to stop by and make a craft. This week is a super fun activity: reading a story called "Monsters DON'T EAT Broccoli" and making monsters!
Remember, if you see something on the lists below that you especially want to seek out, stop by the info tent. There we have a large map of the site that shows where vendors are located and we have volunteers who can direct you to help you find those treasured items.
