Get your back-to-school snacks at the market!

It’s time to stock up on those kid-friendly veggies and fruits (green beans and blueberries anyone?) and some good ready-made meals (pies, soups, donuts big enough for a breakfast!) for the busy fall ahead. While you’re at the market this Thursday, check out our guests!

Community Wellness Booth: GO Sauna will be on hand to show off their sauna tent. Here’s what they say about their business:

“We’re a little sauna tent that temporarily resides in community places. You can sauna with us wherever we are: at the beach, on a back patio, in the woods…essentially, somewhere outside.

The beauty of a sauna tent is you can literally sauna with us anywhere!”

Kids’ Tent: PlayPass is back with a crafts and colouring table. They say:

“We’re PlayPass, a new website that helps parents discover, book, and save money on local kid activities! We’ve partnered with over 25 local children’s activity providers in the East End (Create Art Studio, Fresh Paint, Little Robot Friends to name a few near East Lynn Park) who list their activities on our platform for parents to book.”

The Market this Week: So Many Reasons to Shop the ELPFM!

Hey friends, there are three big reasons to shop at a farmers’ market: fairness for farmers, substantially more nutritious food for you and yours, and a more vibrant community for all of us. According to the Farmers’ Market Coalition, “Farmers earn fair prices for the fruits of their labor by selling directly to consumers. Consumers gain access to fresh, nutritious, local produce. Communities regain a figurative “town square,” experiencing the many positive outcomes of foot traffic and animated public space. “(farmersmarketcoalition.org)

This week at the market, we’ve got three more reasons to visit:

Dunbar Organic Farms will have fresh chickens for sale this week as well as organic produce. This will be their first time visiting us this season!

Danforth Coxwell Library is hosting storytime 4-4:45pm in the kids’ tent!

YMCA will have free button-making for the kids and family fitness demos.

So now we’re up to 6 reasons, right? Let’s throw in live music by David Chandross, wine from Flat Rock Cellars, fresh fries, great cheeses, and some ready-made pies and donuts and salsas to get up to a baker’s dozen. See you at the market!
