1. The Market
There’s something about fall that makes cooking exciting again. Perhaps it’s the earthy root vegetables and mushrooms that you can do so much with. Or the new crop of apples that crunch when you bite into them. After the hot summer, when working over a hot stove felt like a penance, it’s good to get creative again in the kitchen. The East Lynn Farmers’ Market is a great place to start.
The lineup this week…
Folk/pop duo Bailey and Nell perform their harmonies at the market this week. Bailey is an emerging songwriter who is originally from Newfoundland. His songs have remained faithful to his east coast roots but now include a nod to the city.
TheSPACE, the School of Performing Arts for the Community of East York, will be in the Kids’ Zone with pipe cleaner ballerina crafts with repurposed fabric samples, and with a tutu and ballet shoes on hand for kids to try on, too. TheSPACE is a full performing arts centre with a focus on building self esteem through the performance arts.
In the community booth, Pegasus is collecting fabric donations for their upcycling projects. Pegasus Community Project provides adults with developmental disabilities meaningful activities and community engagement to facilitate growth, dignity, and choice. Woodgreen is also back. For more than 80 years, Woodgreen has offered more than 75 different programs for seniors, adults, youth and families that help improve the well-being of the community.
Popup Vendors are Scawnz, known for the Pow Wow style tacos and their blanket dogs, and Charby’s Craft Sauces, makers of award-winning hot sauces and pepper jellies. Wash down your grub with a Muddy York beer, this week’s brewer.
As always, stop by the DECA booth and pick up some produce bags or have your market and neighbourhood questions answered.
