Celebrate the Harvest by Sharing the Bounty!
Join us WEDNESDAY in the Terwillegar Recreation Center Parking Lot from 4:00-7:30
This week marks our second and final Harvest Festival of the season, and the Edmonton Food Bank will be on site to help us share the best picks of the year with those in need. We encourage you to pick some of your garden produce or purchase fruit and vegetables from our vendors this week to donate to families that otherwise struggle to enjoy the benefits of fresh, healthy, local food. All families deserve to enjoy the taste of ultra-sweet garden carrots and the delight of a purple cauliflower, and this week is the perfect time to help share the bounty with all Edmontonians.
Join us here on the "Market Fresh Sheet"
every Tuesday to see what's fresh and happening at your favourite
farmers' market! 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!
The Sprouts Program for kids continues this week! Children between 4-12 will receive a $2 token every week to spend with our fruit and vegetable vendors. This week, our Sprouts recipe is Flying Space Saucers. You can pick up your copy of the recipe at the Sprouts table when you check in! For more information on the Sprouts Program, click here.

you're done, you can
take home the pamphlet to help you eat healthier every day and quiz your
friends on the things you've learned! The Grab-and-Go pamphlets are
