Fresh Sheet: June 8, 2016

Go Green This Week!

Join us WEDNESDAY in the Terwillegar Recreation Center Parking Lot from 4:00-7:30 

Shopping locally is often an environmentally-friendly choice, but we aren't talking about that kind of green this week! Our vendors are bringing some of the freshest early greens to market every week now, from spinach to curly green to mixes and baby arugula. These greens are great ways to load up on Vitamin C, Vitamin A and flavour! Be sure to visit our many vendors growing the green stuff for you this week: Dargatz Family Farm, Lactuca Urban Farm, Holden Colony and S4 Greenhouses.

Join us here on the "Market Fresh Sheet" every Tuesday to see what's fresh and happening at your favourite farmers' market! For market shopping tips, be sure to check out this page to ensure your market visit is everything it should be. And remember, please leave Fido at home- no dogs are allowed where food is being served!
