Come shop at the market, stay for the fun!
This week at the Market – free massages and treats!
Is it wrong to emphasize the massages and treats over the bounty of locally grown and produced fruit, veggies, meat, cheese, bread and wine? No, no it’s not. The farmers’ products speak for themselves, but with the chill in the air, many of us need a little bit of extra motivation to get ourselves to the park on Thursdays.
Here’s the lowdown on this week’s market:
– MP Matthew Kellway will be visiting and available to chat about Federal issues that are on your mind.
– Fa.Real Custom Tees will be there, and if we’re lucky, they’ll have some of their original design East York t-shirts for sale. (This wonderful local biz is a DECA Pop-Up Shop success story!)
– Alterna Savings Credit Union will be handing out info, reusable bags, cupcakes and cookies (yes, you read that right) – come chat with them about their neighbourhood banking services.
– Origin Wellness
The popular RMTs of Origin Wellness (Danforth and Moberly) are back! Erin and Yvonne have been settling into the neighbourhood nicely, and continue to enjoy meeting the great people who live here. By offering complimentary chair massage from 3:00pm to 6:30pm, these two ladies want to show you that receiving regular massage therapy treatments is a fantastic way to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.

At the end of the day, the farmers and vendors are why we go to the market, and us buying stuff is the reason that they continue to come. My list is ready: apple cider, red wine, fancy cheese, and some squash for soup. What are you going to get?
Psssst – stay tuned to DECA diaries to hear more about our upcoming October 9th Harvest Festival (taking place at the market). All we’ll say for now is, live music and bouncy castles! Watch this space.

Market this week
Summer may be over but the weather for THIS Thursday is looking very, very nice. And for the next few weeks, Thursdays are still market days!
If the locally grown/produced bread, cheese, wine, apples, potatoes, greens, meat, etc., doesn’t make you want to rush the park at 3:00pm (or 6:00pm for many of us), then maybe these special visitors will:
- Our community group will be the Merrill Park Dog Association, who will be chatting about how to foster healthy relationships between kids and dogs. This will be a hands-on demonstration at 4:30pm with some friendly, kid-loving dogs.
- Our Wellness Guest this week will be The Kennedy Chiropractic Wellness Centre. They have been providing natural health and wellness-lifestyle care to the East York Community for over 60 years, and are excited to provide East Lynn Park Farmers’ Market patrons a Free individual evaluation, which they explains will use their “state of the art computerized Postural Analysis equipment, that clearly demonstrates the effects of stress on the body.” www.KennedyChiro.ca
Whether you come with the family, the dog, and a picnic blanket, or you are running through on your way home, please try to stop by and buy a few things on Thursdays. Our farmers make long trips to keep bringing us their fresh and delicious fruit and vegetables, and other delicious things – all we have to do is buy and enjoy them.
The East Lynn Farmers’ Market runs every Thursday from 3-7:00 p.m. between June 5 – October 16 at East Lynn Park, located on the south side of Danforth Ave, just west of Woodbine Ave. Stay up to date by visiting the East Lynn Market Facebook page.
