SATURDAY MORNINGS WITH THE PENINSULA’S FINEST!

The next market is on SATURDAY, JUNE 20th. 

We’ll have lots of returning crafters this week, with BOTANICALS BY ALISON, SEASIDE CARDS and NANCY WOOD DESIGNS back for their first markets of the year with us, along with LITTLE ACRE SOAP, OCEAN SEPTEMBER STYLE, and RAINCOAST WOOD TURNINGS.  

We’re excited to announce that the market is now part of the  BC Association of Farmers’ Markets Nutrition Coupon Program. This program is a healthy eating initiative that supports farmers’ markets and strengthens food security across British Columbia.  They’ll have a small table set up at the market with additional information.

For the very first time in our market’s history, the Vancouver Island Regional Library will be at this week’s Learning Table as part of their 90th anniversary celebrations. Libraries provide invaluable on-line and in-person access to books and programs and learning and cool, quiet places to appreciate and enjoy!  We’re so lucky to have them, and so happy to welcome a team to the market to talk about them.

This week’s music will be provided by MORIEN JONES.  This is Morien’s first appearance at the market (lots of firsts this week!), and he performs folk, soul, R&B and Brazilian music on acoustic and electric guitars

The CRD piloted a program called BEYOND THE CURB at several farm markets last year, and this summer they’re bringing the program to the North Saanich Farm Market!  They’ll be set up every week to provide recycling collection as a way to increase recycling convenience for residents for materials that are not collected at the curb, specifically styrofoam and flexible plastic.  This program makes it easy to be part of the solution, and we’re delighted to provide the space and encouragement to make it a success!
