Your favourite Autumn foods await!
Join us WEDNESDAY in the Terwillegar Recreation Center Parking Lot from 4:30-7:30
The temperatures may not be cool yet, but Autumn is in full swing at market this week. With fresh fall vegetables and fruits coming from the fields, it's a great time to get your fill of pumpkins, squash, apples and pears, not to mention all of the fantastic ready-to-eat foods at SWEFM! This week is also our last collection date for the Edmonton Food Bank, so please remember to bring your fresh fruit and vegetables to donate.
For market shopping tips, be sure to check out this page to
ensure your market visit is everything it should be. And remember,
please leave Fido at home- no dogs are allowed where food is being
served!

This week is our final Harvest Festival of the season in support of the Edmonton Food Bank. Enjoy our local bounty of fresh vegetables and help others in our city enjoy them, too! As part of the Plant a Row, Grow a Row program, you can donate fresh vegetables from your garden on-site this Wednesday or purchase fresh vegetables from our vendors to donate.
The produce will be used by the Edmonton Food Bank to support those in
need and allow everyone in Edmonton to eat fresh and healthy foods.
Produce
that is easy to prepare and doesn't spoil quickly is the most helpful,
so be sure to bring your potatoes, lettuce mixes, beets and carrots! Our
volunteers in the info tent will have helpful shopping guides to help you purchase appropriate (and delicious) produce items to donate at market. We're aiming to donate 1000 lbs of produce this year, so please help us reach our target! We also encourage our Sprouts children to use their tokens to donate fresh vegetables this week. Nothing tastes better than helping others!
