Farmers Market Latest News

If you like beer and organic farming, you may well be interested in this exclusive event; Shane Eby, of underground organics, is recipient of the prestigous Nuffield Canada scholarship to study and research growing organic hops.  Join Shane in an intimate setting for an evening of visuals & conversation all about hops around the world.  This evening you will experience the taste, flavours and fun of hand selected brews paired with tasty,  locally sourced food - prepared by Jiva MacKay (of Jaimie Kennedy Kitchens).  It'll be a relaxed event that is not to be missed.   Come eat, drink and support your future local organic 'hops' farmer.

This is a fundraiser to assist Shane in continuing his research and education in hops.  Which interestingly enough, used to be grown quite widely in Ontario, years ago.  And it just plain stopped.  Shane's gonna bring it back!   Come and support his passion to bring back local hops.

Limited number of $40 tickets. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  or 416.536.9103

Well great news!!!  There will be NO increase to the user fees to Farmers Markets.  This is the most excellent news.  It's unclear how it all came down, perhaps a mistake or realization of a bad idea?  Either way, the end result is what we were wanting.

Thank you all for signing the petition and your support.  We actually didn't have to utilize the petition.  Though, we will hang on to  them in case this rears it's head in the future - hope not!

Have a great winter all!  Looking forward to Spring!

Thank you everyone for a great 2011 market season.  We leave you with this image from the last day.

November is when the 'user fee' increases will be on the table at City Hall.  Please, email you Councillor and Mayor and let them know Farmers Markets should not be targeted for a 'user fee' increase.  Thank you.

Keep on spreading the word, circulate this email to any and all of your friends/collegues/family to sign online, or send 'em on up on our last Tuesday to sign it at our organizers green tent - they can do a little shopping too.
