Autumn is definitely upon us, and now is the perfect time to start practicing recipes for Thanksgiving. With squash, zucchini, beets, potatoes, pumpkins and other fall vegetables piled high at our vendors' tables, there's enough fresh food for everyone to enjoy. Be sure to savour the last of the summer fruit this week, too, as our fruit vendors will still have a few baskets of strawberries, grapes, nectarines and peaches for us to enjoy.

The River City Chickens Collective will be in the Community Tent this week, providing information about the Urban Hen Pilot with the City of Edmonton.
The River City Chickens Collective is an informal group of citizens who have been promoting bylaw change to permit backyard hens in Edmonton since 2007. We are very pleased that the City has now approved a pilot project which will see a dozen families enjoying keeping up to 8 chickens in their backyards for the next year. If this goes smoothly Edmonton may soon join other major cities, such as New York, Vancouver, Guelph, and Red Deer, in allowing residents to enjoy these personable creatures, and the fresh eggs that they lay, on a permanent basis.
River City Chickens continues to advocate for chickens and provides information and education about keeping hens in an urban environment. Please check their website or Facebook page for details of a “Chickens 101” workshop on Sunday, October 5th.
