Dina's Jewellery makes beautiful bracelets, necklaces and earrings with vibrant
colours and uses various metals. This is her first time selling at a
market. She was encouraged by her friends and neighbours, who love the
jewelry she makes. They suggested she take her hand crafted jewellery to
her community farmers market. Just a reminder that we have an entirely new look for our website. It is crisp, clean and contemporary and filled with animated slide shows and photos of all of the gorgeous things that are available at our market for you to purchase, enjoy and experience.

At our community Tent this week, Canadian Blood Services will be signing people up to donate blood. It's in you to give.
Everything Cheese is an independent specialty cheese and gourmet food store, well known and well loved in our area, located in Riverbend. They are guided by three principles...everything they sell has to be authentic, inspired and delicious! They will be at the market this week offering a wide variety of local and Canadian cheeses, crackers and condiments, along with their wealth of knowledge and passionate love of cheese!
Breezesta will be back be at the market this week with their colourful chairs & tables, livening up the look for our market. Be sure to stop by their representative at the west end of the market (by T.R. Greenhouses & Pink Kernel... the snow cone place) if you have any questions, would like to find out prices, or place an order for their funky, durable recycled plastic furniture.
Remember, if you see something on the lists below that you especially want to seek out, stop by the info tent. There we have a large map of the site that shows where vendors are located and we have volunteers who can direct you to help you find those treasured items.
