At the Market

Summer is here! And so are the cherries (look for Vans, Rainier, Bing) and the berries (you can still get strawberries, raspberries, saskatoons, gooseberries and mulberries).  A quick survey of the market last week also saw zucchini, carrots, potatoes, rainbow chard, kohlrabi, baby bok choi, fresh sockeye, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant and more. 

Sapo Bravo is coming for the first time this season with their unbelievable fruit. Goat's Pride Dairy returns after a few weeks away with their fine goat cheeses - ever tried the gozzarella? Albert's Herbs & Nursery is back after a few weeks of summer planting and La Brasserie Street makes an appearance with their delectable sandwiches. 

Next Week - Farmers Market Kitchen:  Chef Ned Bell is coming to the market to cook with seasonal market ingredients and share his culinary insights on Saturday, July 21. Look for recipe cards, the demonstration at 11am and samples at the Market Kitchen tent. Check out our website for more details! 

See you at the market!

At the Market

 

We're loving the sun at the Main St Station Market! Aren't you? This newly summery weather is just what our farmers need to get the most out of the growing season. You'll notice the produce offerings have exploded in colour and variety the last two weeks. Sun, keep on shining!

 

This week is raffle day too! If you're a member, you get two free tickets. If you're not a member, tickets are just $1 each for a great assortment of goodies donated by market vendors. Membership is just $10 for a year & benefits go beyond free raffle tickets - ask a market crew member about joining!

 

Next week is our annual Berry Festival when we celebrate BC's berry delights. We have it on good authority that blueberries will be coming on strong by them with the first of the early varieties showing up this week. Feel like testing your baking skills against other Vancouverites? Enter our BC's Best Berry Pie competition - entry forms on our website at http://www.eatlocal.org.
